European spec M340i 0-100 kmh times?
Hey guys!
First of all, I'd like to thank every single one of you for making this forum great. I have been reading for about a month here and you guys pretty much made me sell my 2018 430i Gran Coupe to get the awesome M340i! But i am curious about something. Take note that my car is already oredered and paid for, so this is a simple curiosity. I have seen a great number of reports that say a stock M340i will get to 60 in 3.7-3.8 s. All of those reports are US-based. Now we all know that given the emissions restrictions, the EU model has 374 hp where the US model has 382 hp. Also (as expected), the US model sounds better (due to the lack of extra restrictor). Given these facts, i am curious what 0-60 times the EU model manages. Maybe someone can shed some light. Now please do not get me wrong: even with the advertised 4.4, it will be a rocket compared to my old GC's 5.9, but would love for it to get comparable 0-60 times to what the US market enjoys. Everyone loves getting a lil' bit more than what they hoped, so i'm hoping we Europeans will also get some. So if you have driven or own the EU model and have timed it, do jump in and you could make a brother happy. Cheers guys! Alex

Really now! Between 4.4 and 3.7 there really is a huge difference, so i'd like to know if it applies to both markets.

Could this huuge gap be just from the emissions thingy installed on the exhaust or could it be a combination of different maps and it? Asking because i might think about changing the exhaust (that does not void the warranty) to get 3.7 times but would aurely not temper with the ecu. Thanks a bunch for the reviews bud, highly appreciated!

Downpipe & unrestricted exhaust it is. On a side note: literally cannot wait for it to arrive. :P

From wikipedia but...
Most car magazines and manufacturers in the United States use a rolling start allowance term "1-foot rollout", which means that the timer is only started once the car has traveled 11.5 inches (30 cm), reducing the measured time by up to 0.3 second. UK magazines are always from dead stop. I really doubt an EU m340i Vs a US of A version would be any different in the real world performance wise. Sound wise you lot win! |

if you change the flow before opf, you can get in trouble with the system. after opf you can do anything, theres no problem. if you like it radical... you can delete opf, install the m performance and make stage 2 tune with downpipe. than you get times 0-60 under 3.6 sec. but your waranty is done for sure. these damn eu restrictions are really bad |

Car and driver got 3.8 0-60 (w/ 1 ft roll out) so even if you assume .3 added that would equal 4.1 secs. And that was for RWD US model. The AWD will def be easy to get high 3's w out trying hard. Bmw claims 4.1 on website but that is very conservative as we all know how they are with their times

The EU xDrive model is actually sold as having 4.4sec From what i have seen, there is a possibility that in ideal conditions, with warm tyres, pleasant weather outside but not too hot, on a sticky surface, the car could get a 4.2 secs. Will test it out once it arrives and get back with the findings.

It's a bummer we can't get the same amount of out of the box performance especially taking into account we have to pay roughly 30% more

Also, most of that price difference is taxes. |

So you can estimate that the 4.3sec 0-100kph in the video below, would translate to roughly a 4.1sec 0-60mph. Then, if the Draggy is not subtracting the 1ft rollout (not sure), to compare to the Car & Driver data, you would need to adjust for the 0.3sec rollout, which gets you further down to 3.8. Maybe with a better launch you could get another tenth or two better. I assume the manufacturers 0-60 times are not adjusting for rollout like the magazines do, so probably subtract about 0.3 seconds from their published times to get to "magazine equivalent". It seems that even with that adjustment, the BMW figures may still be a little conservative based on the C&D test. |

tha car is almost identical. the only noticeable difference is the exhaust sound. maybe you dont know... bmw put two small opf instead of one big. sounds bad at first. ... but if you do research, you will find out that 2 small opf are better than one big. smaller getting faster warm und starts quicker to lower emission. further, that way the opf eats less power. thats why bmw managed 2 small. power difference is not noticeable on public roads or even on the track. really negligible. just enjoy your new car. you wont miss power... if you like it louder, install a tuning exhaust and all is good |

In all honesty, the 3 things that made me think about this were: 1. C&D review. 2. Zero to Sixty times (pic attached) 3. This guy's timings (he counts from dead-stop): All of them give 3.8 times so that is why i was amazed to see EU models pulling 4.3s

he is making a lot of mistakes measuring. the times are not corrected, measured with mobile built in gps, the street is also not plan. downhill uphill... :-) the draggy time i posted above is technically good. it is made with one of the most common systems. very straight and comparable. standing realistic times are between 4.1 and 4.3 on stock eu spec m340i |
