Freshly Built B58-powered BMW 340i Battles Engine Troubles, Overcomes And RIPS Its First Laps!

►This week on the BMW F30 340i Drift Taxi build, follow Michael Essa and his team as they transform a stock 340i into a fire-breathing drift machine. The journey begins with getting the drivetrain into the car and sending the chassis off for paint with all the fabrication complete. The engine, featuring a modified N54 intake manifold, a new exhaust camshaft, Supertech valvetrain, and some intake porting, is brought over to Papadakis Racing for power modifications. With everything in place, the engine and drivetrain are finally installed.

As the build progresses, the team works tirelessly to get the Drift Taxi buttoned up and tuned on the dyno, racing against the clock to be ready for Gridlife Midwest. The first firing of the B58 engine brings more concerns than joy, as oil smoke billows from the titanium hood dump. The team faces confusion and setbacks, but they push through to ensure the car is ready for its debut.

In the final stages, the build is completed just in time for Gridlife Midwest. After a grueling 30-hour trip to Gingerman Raceway, the BMW F30 340i Drift Taxi takes to the track, delivering sideways, smoky rides to excited fans. Witness the culmination of weeks of hard work and determination as the Drift Taxi shreds its way to victory in this all-encompassing compilation episode.
