Took delivery M340i

I finally took delivery of my car Saturday just gone. I say finally, only ordered it in the middle of July but it felt like a lifetime haha.

M340i x-drive with the following spec:

Mineral grey
Shadow line plus pack
Tech plus pack
M technology pack
Comfort plus pack
Visibility pack
M carbon pack
M sport front seats in black leather with blue stitching.

I've only done around 100 miles so far but I absolutely love this thing! I can't wait to get to the 1200 miles and really open it up!

Quick question, are the uk spec 225/40/19 all round usually? Mine has 255 on the rear and was unsure if that was due to the m technology pack or just standard.

I've attached a couple of pictures but the car is getting ceramic coated on the 11th so I'll add more once that's been completed.

Thanks. Just after reading threads on the us forum they seem to have either a 225 square set up or staggered so I was unsure

It gives you bigger brakes and improved cooling. I think the front disks are 382mm or so. They're absolutely huge and full the 19 inch rims

I'm not sure. It was on the configurator when I ordered and I've just gone back on to take that screenshot.

I literally ticked every box when ordering it 🤣

It's available on the G22 M440i, I didn't bother speccing it though!
Not sure about the G21 but think it is?

It isn't from what I can see, the m perf pack and the carbon pack seem to be saloon specific

Looks great, I may see you about..

Mineral grey is such an underrated colour on these (I’m biased) laser lights make the whole car too!

My Toruing has 255’s on the back too.. I think the 225’s on the front are a bit last gen though.

I love it, I'd originally specced dravit but after seeing the colour on a 7 series I wasn't so sure. It looked really flat and it was quite a sunny day. I know it looks amazing in bright light but I don't think we get the weather to appreciate it in the uk

Lol.. I mean I wouldn’t personally own one in black.

For me there’s always been something properly cool about a fast estate so I would have one even if i didn’t need (I do) one.

My e61 was black and it looked OK. that is if it was clean. Would never own a white car. Looks poverty spec. My first car was white.

Wouldn't have chosen Mineral White if I had the choice but think it looks good on the m340 and happy with it now.

I actually think the white looks best without the Shadowline Pack.

This looks really good.
