Hey all! So I’m finally back with another review and this time we’re taking a look at some finely crafted German automotive engineering!   Today’s car of interest is a 413 bhp Dinan tuned 2016 BMW 340i xDrive.   I went into this review personally curious about a few things: How well would the car hook with the power it has and is the ZF 8 speed gearbox as fun as the 6 speed manual I’m accustomed to? Well before we answer either of those questions let’s go into a little more detail about what we’re dealing with here.   The 2016 BMW 340i comes with a 3 liter inline six with a single twin scroll turbocharger making about 335 horsepower called the B58B30M0 (or so BMW claim, there are reports of these cars making more than that… to the wheels if you can believe it). So right out of the box the car is plenty fast, the xDrive is capable of a 0-60 of 4.2 seconds and a 1/4 mile time of 12.7 seconds at 108.3 mph.
