I like the option - if only for people who spec different paints that don't necessarily go well with the blue callipers.

Except for the fact that the title reads "The 2021 M340i gets optional red M sport brake calipers" 👀

Most likely just the color.
Also, plan to give up your left nut for the red one, right nut for the blue.
Lol that's hilarious. Life without a right but has been OK so far!

How about offering the M340 with a manual trans for 1 year just like audi did 2-3 years ago for 1 year and no one ended up buying but at least it was a nice offer :-)

Interesting. I have the bigger brakes from the M package (UK spec). Parked next to a G20 with the 'standard' blue brakes and although you can tell the difference, it's not easy. So I guess if you cared to show the world you have the bigger brakes, then red might appeal. Personally not for me. Bit too Audi...

What's more interesting is

- front and REAR seat heating - we don't have rear heated seats in the UK.

- Carbon trim - from what I've seen it looks much better than the others and I would rather have it as part of the build then do it myself or take her in to be done

- M performance exhaust and rear trim - is that new?? Or is that the current set up?

What about more colors for M340i? I would love to see the Oxide Silver in US without paying 5k to get it. Also the 330I have colors that would look great on 340.

Anyone knows if this color will be available in the US for 2021, I can't find it on BMW USA website and it doesn't appear to be a warp..

I won’t say zero chance but that has zero chance of being a standard color.. damn I said zero. You never know... except I do lol. You wouldn’t want it standard anyway, so colors are better rare so they have an impact.

Not a wrap... that’s Urban Green. Premium Individual. £5k in the UK. Hard pass!

You can see all the Premium ones here.

Only two features I wish the M340i had in the US: Fiona Red Interior and Ventilated seats. How do you omit that?

Also, any change those options are on the upcoming Gran Coupe?

Agreed. I wondering if the Fiona Red is going to be a future addition with maybe the next MY because the Euro spec already has them. Hell I'll even take the Tacora Red at this point.

That's the UK site so no it's not an option in the US, but all of those are offered (frozen paints) but they are all individual paints.

Difference is you actually have man brakes to sport the red look, nobody takes a civic with red calipers seriously. I got 6 Piston Red Brembo's on my car and people are always complementing how good it looks

We have 'Sort of Individual' and 'Actually Individual'. Though I am not sure BMW classes it as that. Tanzanite Blue and Oxide Grey are 'Individual' and £1100. That lot above is 'Individual' and £5,000 or so...
