B58 BMW M240i, M340i & M440i Tuners, Mods, & Performance Parts. Where do I begin?
As a proud owner of a B58 BMW M240i/M340i/M440i, you already know that this sedan has a lot of potential when it comes to tuning and customization. But where do you start when you want to take your car to the next level? In this article from Burger Motorsports aka BurgerTuning.com, we’ll walk you through some of the best ways to tune your Gen 2 B58 powered vehicle so that you can get the most out of this highly customizable performance vehicle.
One of the best places to start when tuning your M240i, M340i & M440i is the engine. The B58 engine in this car is already a powerhouse, but with a few upgrades, you can boost its performance even further. Much further. Tuning the ECU (Engine Control Unit) can unlock significant horsepower gains. You do this by adding a plug and play JB4 tuner. One of the best BMW tuners out there and works on locked ECUs.
BMW B38/B46/B48/B58 JB4 Tuner (purchase here)

What is a JB4?
The JB4 is a plug & play tune available for turbocharged vehicles. The JB4 tuner installs between your car's sensors and the DME/ECU (computer) and manipulates vehicle performance through these connections making your vehicle much faster. The JB4 works on locked ECUs. While it's not the only tuning system that operates this way the JB4 separates itself from the competition with much more advanced connection points and processing including CANbus, fuel & spark control, Bluetooth to your smartphone, and a variety of innovative and advanced features not possible with any other system. BMS regularly publishes free mapping and firmware updates adding performance and features as ongoing development allows. In addition, the JB4 system is not VIN-locked to your vehicle and can quickly be removed and swapped between cars or resold at a later time. Often imitated but never duplicated the JB4 has been the gold standard in plug and play turbocharged performance tuning for over a decade.
Next, consider adding an upgraded Burger Motorsports intake system to your M340i. The stock air intake system is designed to minimize engine noise and maximize fuel efficiency, but this comes at the cost of horsepower and sound. An upgraded intake like the Burger Tuning B58 Performance Intake System will allow more air to flow to the engine, which will increase horsepower. Additionally, it will improve the sound of your engine, giving it a more aggressive growl under hard acceleration. We currently offer two amazing options.
More Air = More Power and Dramatic Sound Improvement!
BMS B58 BMW M240i M340i M440i Competition Cold Air Intake
https://burgertuning.com/products/bms-gen-2-b58-competition-enclosed-performance-intake
Option #1. Designed from the ground up to be the best in every aspect with over a year invested in street and track testing. This is the first intake for the Gen 2 B58 that follows a clean OEM+ look and materials but has the intoxicating sound and performance of an open intake. Inside, you'll find our proprietary renewable inverted cone performance filter; outside, you'll find unsurpassed OEM fitment, materials, and quality. The BMS competition intake has a clear window on top for quick filter inspection, uses the OEM cold air inlet, and has a huge inlet hole on the cold side of the airbox for more air and even more fantastic sound! The factory heat shield is reused to keep those intake temps as low as the factory intended. The rubber accordion hose and factory resonator are replaced with a smooth pipe to deliver less turbulent air to the turbo. This intake takes everything good about the factory intake and squeezes more sound and performance out of it while maximizing airflow to your B58 engine!
BMS Billet Intake

Option #2 for M340i and M240i only. The Burger Motorsports billet B58 air intake system unlocks up to 8+whp to the wheels from your G20 B58 M340i or M340iX engine. In addition to the extra power throttle response, turbo spool, and sound are dramatically improved, finally allowing you to hear your turbo spool up under heavy acceleration. The system is CNC machined from billet aluminum, anodized black for a clean look, and includes a reusable BMS high flow inverted cone filter. The OEM cold air intake tube, airbox bottom, and factory heat shield remain fully functional for ducting and heat isolation. Install takes only minutes and is fully reversible. Filters are available in red or blue. Made in the USA.
BMS Drop-In Performance Air Filter

BMS Elite BMW/Supra B58TU Gen2 Charge Pipe Blow-Off Valve (BOV) Kit
Finally, that blow-off valve sound you've been waiting for on your B58TU powered BMW or Supra. Designed and manufactured by Burger Motorsports in the USA. The BMS Elite is the highest quality B58TU charge pipe upgrade on the market. Our charge pipe is constructed from high-gauge aluminum featuring a CNC throttle body and turbo flange for a snug, OEM-style fit. It is completed with a matte black powder coat to coordinate with the engine bay and boasts three 1/8" NPT bungs ideal for an external boost gauge or methanol nozzles. Its double o-ring seal design on the chargepipe flange that attaches to the turbo is designed to withstand up to 40+psi of high boost. In comparison, other makers reuse the single OEM o-ring, which is not suitable for high boost.
Keep oil buildup from degrading engine performance!
BMS Oil Catch Can for G Chassis B58 M240i, M340i & M440i (purchase here)
https://burgertuning.com/products/oil-catch-can-for-g-chassis-b58-bmw-m240-m340-m440
You need protection. Period. Even on a stock or highly modified M240i, M340i & M440i. It's no secret that the B58 BMW turbo motor can suffer from oil control problems causing the oil to blow through and coat the intercooler and charge piping, gunking up intake valves and the VANOS system, lowering the effective octane, and generally degrading engine performance. The higher your boost levels the more apparent these problems become.
To solve these problems Burger Motorsports designed their oil catch can kit from the ground up specifically for the B58 turbo BMW application. It features 100% CNC machining with zero welding for a precision fit and long life.
Requires either the BMS B58 G20 Billet Intake or the BMS B58 BMW M240i M340i Competition Cold Air Intake to fit or if you would like to keep the factory intake you can use the BMS G20 B58 intake muffler delete to make room needed for the can.
