Looks like there is no separate model for the M340i. Wrong grill, mirror caps, and wheels. Still looks cool though!

Which is interesting because in the Connected smartphone app, it does pull through the exact vehicle visual (for me at least). You’d think they could do the same in iDrive. Maybe in a future iDrive software update..

Side note - what did you dislike about the X1? I was considering it as a second vehicle for my wife b/c of the super reasonable lease rates.

Sport seats were uncomfortable for me and from passenger and M-Sport ride on crap UK roads was not great. just did not suit us - luckily my company could pass it onto someone else...

I think it should match the color outside. Mine is a plain Jane sport line too and it shows the exact spec on the iDrive screen.

Different as in, the M340i grills now?
The mesh grill, mirror caps and wheels are incorrect now

My M340i is almost correct in the App; Mineral White, black grill , white mirror caps.
Except in the 3D Remote View function where I see a Silver coloured car image that looks like a 330i with twin exhaust pipes.
For the in car display I get a white car with white mirror caps...but with what looks like a cerium grey grill.
This stuff really should be a no brainer for in car and the App.

Wheels are generic, lights are generic.
Only thing which it matches,almost, is the trim level, its either basic for all different ones, or msport for msport, and of course the color.
However it's matched in the connected app.
No idea why they didn't add the different views of the car when they clearly have them and they are simple pictures which would be a few megabytes more, which aint much, considering the car has something like 30gbs of memory.

Well, the iDrive icon for my car has color about right, but icon isn't an M340. on the other hand, Connected Drive doesn't do any better

Why do you say the car in the iDrive isn't an M340i? It looks like an M340i to me. Unless I'm missing something.

VipinLJ ,

Well, perhaps it was a little bit of overstatement-- other than grill with vertical slats, rather than the grey diamond pattern, both iDrive & App are pretty faithful

Ahhh. I see it now. I was going off the cerium grey vents on the bumper The 330i M sport doesn't have those vents. Which is why I missed the grill.
