From a 428i to a M340i Xdrive
This week will be a week I have been looking forward to for a long time. After about 5 years I will say goodbye to my beloved 428i. After 107,000 km it's time for a new, more practical car.
A disadvantage of the 4 series coupe I think the long doors. It was sometimes quite a challenge to leave the car in busy parking garages. Also for passasiergs it was not ideal. Apart from that, I have had a lot of fun with this car. In the beginning it was standard, then I adjusted the diffuser, blackened the grill and added some carbon details. A coupe is absolutely the most beautiful. Tough line, nice and sporty and after 5 years I notice that the 4 series is still a head-turner. I had one accident in those 5 years, and it wasn't my fault. Yesterday I washed her for the last time: I will miss this car for sure, but I'm realy looking forward to my new ride. I keep you updated. Last edited by JJDW; 10-04-2019 at 02:40 AM.. |

Beautiful car. I prefer a coupe look but there is no denying four doors is more useful. Loving our m340i xDrive and you will too. The power bump from that 428i will be huge! What's your color/spec?

Congrats!
I'm also waiting on a dravit grey m340, so I'm loving all the recent pictures of that color. I love how different it looks in different lighting. |

Dravit is such a great color. I got my Dravit M340 xdrive in April, having come from an Estoril Blue M235. I was worried I might get bored with a gray car, but was wrong about that! Dravit Gray is much classier than the Estoril Blue in all situations, but ranges from a flat mineral Gray/charcoal on cloudy days to a light milky gray in indirect light. And then with sunshine you get the stunning gold flake showing through. All versions of the color are classy, but the gold flake really gets attention in sunlight.[IMG][/IMG] Last edited by mcjohnsonsg; 10-04-2019 at 09:01 PM.. |

I think your pics didn't attach though. My last car was a dark gray/graphite lexus IS350 which I loved. I then moved on to a blue Infiniti Q50, and now have the dravit grey m340 on order which I'm super excited about. Can't wait to see it in person in different lighting! |

Thanks! It's crazy, just looking at those pics you'd never guess it was the same car/color. |

Great looking inside and out!
Merino leather unfortunately isn't available in the 3 series here in the US, otherwise I definitely would have opted for it. Getting merino in the X5 and it's so nice. |

The Extended Merino Black interior with Walkanappa Dash, looks very posh and lavish indeed! Unfortunately only available in Canada for m340i.
For G20 330xi only, we can select either leatherette dash with Merino Leather seats OR Walkanappa Leather Dash with Vernasca Leather for Canada, boo! no extended. |
