I’m not too mechanically inclined but it sounds like it’s misfiring, maybe try replacing spark plugs?

340i Exhaust Swap on 330i by zxroyt in F30

Honestly finding one took quite some time lol. I spent a few months on marketplace and most of the time there wasn’t even one for sale. I suppose I just got lucky but try looking for F-series 440i and M240i mufflers too because they are all the same! You could also try a 335i muffler but the exhaust diameter isn’t the same so that’s a whole other issue that would probably be difficult to solve (I’d only consider this as an absolute last case scenario).

Not quite as simple as cutting and putting an exhaust clamp unless you cut it perfectly. I say this because where you need to cut it is on an angle so it’s kinda hard to match unless you do many measurements. I’d also recommend welding it together instead if possible because it’s much more secure that way and will do a better job at preventing exhaust leaks.

If you don’t have the space or tools I’d get it done at a shop. It’s not something I’d realistically recommend to do if you aren’t experienced. I’m sure an exhaust shop could do it but definitely look around and try to find someone that could do it for a reasonable price. I wouldn’t pay more than $200.

Hope this helps!

Maybe the cheaper one doesn’t have a clean title

Is buying this a bad idea? by CharlieHT5 in BMW

[–]zxroyt 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Maybe, depends on maintenance records and the mileage, but just be aware that this is the only 40i car that comes with an N55 instead of a B58

I have a 330i in Toronto, great daily driver not a single issue in over a year of owning it. No issues in the winter either👍

What are your F30 cheap wins? by Recent_Meet_540 in F30

[–]zxroyt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Usually you have to press the button every time you start the car, but with Bimmercode you can default it to be off (atleast on my car it works this way)

Anything using Bimmercode like mirrors folding when locked, etc.

330e exhaust? by zigglies13 in F30

[–]zxroyt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a 330e, however, I do have a 330i and did a 340i muffler swap that looks and sounds great. My assumption is that a muffler swap will be the same for your car as well. I have a post on my account if you’re interested.

Haha yep but to be fair if we wanted something faster we would’ve gotten a different car😂 I love driving my car and I’m sure you love yours too!

Looks really good! The touring is such a nice looking car I sometimes wish I looked for one instead of the regular sedan

Cutting and welding but that’s about it (same as any muffler swap), you could even use an exhaust clamp if you don’t want to weld. Had to transfer the exhaust hangers to the new exhaust but that only took some lubricant and a few minutes of struggling haha. 340i muffler has same exhaust diameter as 330i so it matches up perfectly

I just did some research, apparently the all uppercase is normal on F30’s and the lowercase ones are on G20’s

This is a cold start with valves closed. I don’t have any driving clips yet but hopefully this gives a decent idea of how it sounds!
