We all know that cars (generally) are NOT an investment, and when 1 MY is in production that another is right behind it. Therefore as soon as you buy it's outdated....the reality of how companies are 1 step ahead.
For me, I'm not so butt hurt about the increased HP in the 2020. In all honesty a tune would get me that and for cheaper 😊.

Wow I have a 2018 X3 M40i and this is crazy how the HP increased in over a year. Wonder if BMW can do anything to retune the older X3 M40is?

Yes the most basic thing was the steering wheel. Just because BMW logics had poor planning should not affect the customers. That was a huge disappointment. Mercedes probably would have made this mistake lol.

Guys, really. Numerous tunes will get even more HP than MY2020 brings.. and with big torque improvements. I prefer the JB4. Easy install. iPhone app. Different maps you can choose on the fly. 50+ HP & Torque. https://burgertuning.com/products/b58-jb4 Lots of tune info if you search the forum.

What about a tuning box (non JB4) ?
There was one that adjusts injector duration as opposed to just increasing boost / fule rail pressure ... can't find it on the internet now though :-( |

I guess flashing the tuning can increase the HP. But wondering if the extra 30 plus hps make a difference.

I'd really like to see someone do a back to back dyno of a MY '19 then a '20.
I drove the updated B58 in the new M340i and didn't feel any extra horses on the butt dyno at all. Felt weaker, in fact. |

Totally fair and Valid that this is your opinion but it's worth noting this is not aligned with the majority of feedback on the new motor in the m340

It's funny, while waiting for my service to be done the other day, I also took a new M340i out for a test ride, and I agree, that it felt slower than the M40i. I did notice that the seats were certainly firmer than the M40i's. That's not good. |
