The m340d isn't available in my market, but I'm guessing part of the allure is 516 lbft of torque at 1750 rpm.

Registered in December 2019 according to the DVLA - must surely be some sort of pre-production model as the DVLA search result has loads of missing information (e.g. fuel type!)

Some colours should stay in the past, especially non metallic ones, it's like movie remakes, never as good as original, e46 M3 Laguna Seca Blue, e92 M3 Santoruni Blue, new model should be new colour, M340d-???, why? It's not that economical, unless you're doing astronomical miles and UK isn't that big to do big miles, I would choose M340i for sound, feel and inline petrol six experience all day everyday.

Even a legendary color couldn't give this car soul.

I don't like this on the G20. I much prefer darker colors for this generation.

It’s 15hrs from one end to the other. And Europe is a 30minute tunnel. You can drive to Istanbul in 48hrs. Of course you can do the miles 😀 still wouldn’t have one though, never liked diesels.

This looks like it was taken in the car park of BMW UK Headquarters at Farnborough.

Also looks to be fully loaded - sunroof, Tech Pack, Driver Assistance, Individual colour - so likely a press car

The S4/5 is ONLY diesel now in Europe. Sucks and I don't understand it either. Happy that none of these models are in North America.
Diesels are dying off like dinosaurs.

And good riddance to them all.

My 5,000 pd. Jeep Grand Cherokee turbo diesel with 430 lbs of twist and returns 27 mph while pulling my motorcycle trailer takes offense to that


Enjoy it while you can.

One day your Jeep might have a electric motor in each wheel and turn like a tank.
That sounds cool. I'll take two please. [IMG][/IMG]

As an ex owner of a 430d (and soon to be M4 owner)
I can confirm that this M340d must be a blast!
Anyone commenting bad about the 3 litre diesel engines of the F and G series, most of them never owned or driven one.

(Most possibly it will be the last performance diesel 3 series ever as well)

That is the best color and engine option possible for this car, especially if you are doing high milage. Perfect combo IMO. well done to the new owner
