Tuned BMW M340i v M340d v 330e: DRAG RACE

Показать описание

3 Series drag race let’s goooo!

We’ve got our hands on a BMW M340i, M340d & 330e, and they’re going head-to-head to see just how different the performance is of a petrol, diesel & plug-in hybrid 3 Series. However, they’re not all stock - each car has had a stage one tune! So let’s see how they compare.

Starting with Mat in the M340d Touring, it’s powered by a 3-litre straight-six diesel that can now put down 430hp and 850Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at 1,945kg.

Next up we have the M340i. It’s equipped with a 3-litre straight-six petrol, and it now puts down 470hp and 630Nm. Like the diesel power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at just 1758kg.

Then finally we have the 330e. It’s equipped with a 2-litre turbocharged 4 cylinder coupled with an electric motor, and these combine to put down 400hp and 700Nm. Power is only sent to the rear wheels only via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it’s also the lightest car here, tipping the scales at scales at 1,740kg.

So the M340i has the most power, but will it be an easy win? Or could the diesel or plug-in hybrid snatch it? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Got stage 2 M340i with 510 hp and 750nm top speed 325km.

Love it.

330e does have launch control, gearbox to the left, in sport settings go to xtra boost (as its a hybrid) and traction off :)

I'm B58 all the way, but i have to say the 330e with a map is a HUGE difference over stock!

BMW either creates a masterpiece or a headache or both in one😂.

That 330e has had some use, 120k miles!

Sorry but props to the 330e? quarter mile in 12.7 seconds? According to car wow drag list, BMW M6 2017, does the same time... madness!

FYI the 330e does have launch control, you just have to turn DSC off to do it. Would love to see how the 330e would do if it had a perfect launch

Being fair, that 2.0 litre bmw hybrid is not slow at all. Pretty impressive really.

I'm actually most impressed with the 330e... it's crazy it was able to kinda hang in with cars that have a whole 2 more cylinders

My wife runs a 330e as her company car, it’s only doing 26 miles pure Electric but most town miles mean we only put petrol in monthly, previous car was 330D and honestly I have always been surprised by how economic due to our lifestyle, and how quick the 330e feels especially for A road overtake ❤

Would love to see a E9x 335i/d vs these newer cars

I love all your videos. How do you feel about sharing the top speed at the end of the 1/2 mile. I know it will vary with all the cars but it is nice to see. Thanks for all the amazing videos.

I have a stage 1 330e and I honestly love it because it's the cheapest straight line performance car I think of. I pootle to work and back on electric only mode then if I want a bit of speed in xtraboost mode it absolutely flies! Mine was dyno'd at 415bhp in xtraboost which is crazy all things considered.

The downside of the car is that you have to be careful about oil temp - if you've been running in electric only and suddenly want to boot it, you have a cold engine and have to wait 5 mins for it to warm up.

Overall I love it though, I average well over 50mpg all of the time but have enough power to surprise 95% of cars on the road.

Also - it does have launch control its just extremely finicky to get working!
