All routers within their own AS has been configured with IGP, routers within their own AS are reachable to one another (imagine the above diagram is part of an AS network). The border routers are connected to each other AS and exchanging prefixes.
As shown in the diagram, two paths have different bandwidth, suboptimal routing is occurring. The requirement is to use 4mbps to reach the 172 networks (172.30.0.0/24 and 172.30.1.0/24), the remaining networks can use the default path as shown in show ip bgp command.

So the reason the path was not chosen despite local preference was changed is because 3.3.3.3 is unreachable!
Neighbor <peer ip> next-hop-self command
1841-2(config)#router bgp 100
1841-2(config-router)#neighbor 1.1.1.1 next-hop-self
1841-1(config)#router bgp 100
1841-1(config-router)#neighbor 2.2.2.2 next-hop-self
1841-1 has a static route to 3.3.3.3 of 2651-1 but 1841-2 does not, the command is to modify the next-hop address of the sending router.
Path manipulation succeed!
Make sure the route is reachable by IGP within your own AS!
