Hard to believe, but for the new one M240i (G42) The first tuning parts are already available from BMW. And they directly screw up the performance of the B58 turbocharged six-cylinder up. And in the new video by Officially Gassed is shown what a tuned M240i compared to the heavier but also stronger "standard“ M3 can afford. But first the changes to the M240i. He got a new one Air Intake System donated by Eventuri, there was one Cat-back sports exhaust system from Miltek and one Chip tuning software (JB4 Tuning Box) for the turbocharged 3,0-liter straight-six engine. The result flows into 450 PS instead of the factory 374 horses.
more power but also more weight in the M3
Although the M3 with his 510 PS still significantly stronger, but it also weighs significantly more. The M240i tips the scales at around 1.690 kilograms, while the M3 has to contend with 1.745 kilograms. Who the exact power to weight ratio wants to calculate, he can do that HERE do. In the end, is the lightness of the M240i in combination with the additional performance through the tuning an advantage in a drag race? We'll tell you, one of the vehicles can do it quarter mile in 11,607 seconds and 189,45 km/h and the other in 11,843 seconds and 196,16 km/h. The video shows you which time belongs to which vehicle. Have fun!
