Have a 2 series and have been eyeing the M340. Does this have the power speed and pizzaz?
I can’t tell if this post is serious. You need something like a Ferrari to pick up chicks and even then they would be gold diggers.

I used to have a 2011 E90 328i as well. Then I got the F30.

IMO, the G20 M340 drives a lot more like the E90 than the F30 does. It has that nice stiff steering wheel feel to it, honestly feels a lot more hydraulic than electric! I got the Adaptive M Suspension; on Comfort, it drives similar to an F30. On Sport Plus, it's a completely different car, you can feel every crack and every bump on the road. I love it.

It's stiffer in Comfort than it was on the F30, and gets even stiffer in Sport Plus, you can really feel the difference.

Congrats on your new ride!! How is the cabin noise at 70mph highway speeds ? Is it as low or well muted like the 5 series?

Thank you! I still need a bit more time with it to really be able to tell. But the engine does sound a bit loud inside, which is probably because of the ASD. I would personally turn that off once I figure out how.

That's the trim I'm thinking of too. May I request a photo of the interior during the day with the ambient lighting set to Blue?

This will only work on girls not smart enough to figure out the questions. For your goal, forget cars...spend on more education.

Very strange. I have the same interior (cognac + oak open-pored trim) and the cognac extends up to the dash on my 330i xDrive. I can post a pic of it later.

Also echoing what others said, I thought the Cognac comes with a Cognac dash. Are Canadian cars different?

I'm not entirely sure. My car has the Walknappa Leather Dashboard, maybe this is the reason? I like it more this way though, I don't like the Congac on the dashboard.

It comes as part of the Excellence Package (a Canada only package) which includes everything. So I didn't really have a choice here. But it's not something I would've got myself.

As for options, it's fully loaded. Has everything that was selectable.

The Tanzanite Blue is actually a lot darker than on the configurator, but it's still a beautiful colour. Probably the best colour on a G20.

Also the silver on mirror caps and grill outline is very flat and not bright. I initially wanted the black mirrors and grill, but I'm happy that I went with this instead.
We are still waiting for pics. Hath the weather not improveth?
