[Video] FBO Stage 2 335i Gapped by a 340i

Please help me figure out what mods are on this 340i. Not sure if 340s are just that fast but this guy made my car feel so slow lol. After ive done everything to nearly max out its potential... short of getting a PS2. Could being in Sport+ Auto have anything to do with my slow takeoff ?

335i Mods:
Catted Downpipe
Full Exhaust
Charge Pipe
Upgraded HPFP
LSD
Stepped Intercooler
BM3 Stage 2 OTS
Brand NEW MPS4S (Driven less than 500 miles)

Surely this guy is running a Tune, a Pure Stage 2 and E85.. right? or some combination of the 3. Seriously the way his car accelerated was unbelievable.Cant just be the xDrive. Not quite sure i stayed WOT the whole time either because the way his car pulled caught me off guard. Still, i was out of my league lol.

I was bored so i made a video of the slaughter:



What mods could be on this guys car?

Could be shift software, running e - or just FBO S2.

A EWG FBO is about 370-380whp on the off the shelf tunes
400-420whp with custom and/or E85

The B58 is about 400-420whp FBO - 450-480whp with E85 and custom tunes.

The b58 is superior. Im not an expert but I'm thinking you need bigger turbos. Then you'd spank a b58. I I love your film editing though. Definitely well made.

I think it was the weight saving of taking out the turn signals that did it for him.
Hope he doesn't kill anyone.

Yes they are just fast AF FBO. I've been dying to race one to see how I do since I've got a PS2 plus custom. You did nothing wrong, the b58 is just a beast.

I've run a B58 that was FBO, running a custom E60 tune. He gapped me by about 1 car BUT...this was before I went custom tune and was running only the MHD PS2 OTS map. He felt very proud of himself lol but would love to run again with my custom tune!!!

Post a video once you get it. I'm interested in seeing a solid pull with an upgraded one. Im almost to 100k miles with bm3 on my n55 and it seems fine, but I kinda want more power too.
