M340i modifying

Just wondering if any of you have looked into what you might plan to do with your cars.

Obviously it's not really possible to do anything really but being in lockdown is just making me window shop online but there doesn't seem like there's much out there for the M340i.

I'll probably get some ACS springs once the whole virus thing settles. Maybe look into some CF styling from Unit17 as I'm in Coventry and Unit17 is only down the road in Birmingham.

Performance wise there isn't too much out there at the moment? The ACS performance upgrade is a hefty chunk of money so has anyone thought about a remap?

Only had the car for about 6 weeks and done 600 miles due to lockdown so won't be doing anything major just yet, just wanted to see what everyone's thoughts were in general.

Pretty sure DMS have remapped one already. Can't remember the stats. Might be worth a look. They're a bit pricy but you pays your money!

Might have to just keep window shopping for the time being as just taken out car insurance with BMW as they were the only competitive price by a long long way, but don't really allow any modifications.

Quite a few tuning boxes already out, dtuk, bluespark etc. Had a dtuk on the 340i and was very noticeable in extra oomph. I think outputs vary from about 410 to 440bhp and loads of torque for the m340. dms are quoting 470bhp!

The M3 isn't as family friendly and as it's the wife's car mainly so just a "norma"l G20 saloon fits the bill. Wouldn't have minded a 540i but she didn't want something so big.

Got a year to mull over what to do with the car, possibly a remap and exhaust depending on who we're insured with.

If you put 510 g-power horses through it, for just 12k Euro and a trip to Germany, it won’t be quite as family friendly! 3s to 60.... if only, would have to buy it outright first though given its a turbo swap
