BMW's Legendary B58 vs BMW's Future EV... Which One Would You Buy? | 2016 340i vs 2023 i4

Gas vs electric. The legendary B58 inline-six versus BMW's all-electric future. In this episode from Atlas Motor Co., we're taking a look at two completely different approaches to the Ultimate Driving Machine: a 2016 BMW 340i powered by one of BMW's most respected engines ever built, and a 2023 BMW i4 eDrive40, an EV that still manages to feel surprisingly familiar behind the wheel. The 340i represents the beginning of the B58 era, an engine that's earned a reputation for reliability, smooth power delivery, and incredible tuning potential. Meanwhile, the i4 delivers instant torque, over 300 miles of EPA-rated range when new, and one of BMW's best modern interiors... but opening the hood revealed something we definitely weren't expecting. No engine. No frunk. Just... an empty compartment that left us scratching our heads. We'll walk you through both cars, highlight what makes each one special, and help you decide whether BMW's legendary combustion era or its electric future is the better buy.
