I think he is comparing the F26 X4 with the G01 X3. The N55 engine on the old X4 M40i sounded better than the B58 in the X3 M40i.
I've driven both at the BMW UDE events the the N55 engine on the X4 crackles and pops a lot more compared to the X3.

You can hear the M340i accelerating on the race track at Portimao. Go to 4:00:
Sounds pretty aggressive for a non-M car!

That sounds good. There's also a startup at 23:50 that sounds insane, although I think the driver feathered the pedal a bit immediately after the engine started to make it louder.

as far as i can tell, the M340i has the same engine as the 340i MPPSK - they just built in the Power & Sound Kit instead of making it an add-on. The M340i has slightly higher top-end HP, but the same torque, which is probably the result of an ECU tweak?
All the M40i engines are the same. There are lots of videos on the sound of the 340 MPPSK - I listen to it every day LOL. Sounds grrrreat! |

Maybe someone else with experience owning or driving both MPPSK and an M40i can lend clarity. For those like myself that have MPPSK on an f3X car there is a VERY pronounced difference between comfort and sport mode as 2 muffler bypass valves open... in sport it is LOUD. I haven't read similar commentary on the M40i around that feature so I just don't have the answer.... but it's a worthwhile question. My suspicion is that the M40i is either a copy of mppsk or a hybrid version, not quite as insane as mppsk sport but more than comfort in everyday driving |

I think the sound coming from the B58 is great. My dad has a X3 M40i and it delivers a great experience although I'm no SUV lover/driver at all.
In some of the video shots the M2C exhaust sound got pushed to the background by the accelerating M340i, which sounds deeper. I quite like it! |

Hey guys, I dug through some foreign language M340i reviews and hit the jackpot.
Go to 2min 18sec for a startup in Comfort mode and another one in Sport Plus mode. Then go to 8min 40sec for another startup/revving clip. |
