Thank you. Gold can be a bit much for some, it took me a while to embrace it.
Nice detail added to all m-performance models now. I have it on my m550 and love it as well

I agree, do not lower it. Pictures are deceiving and I would imagine in person, it looks perfect.

Front license plates are for the wall in your garage.

I find that if I am pulled over and remain super chill I never have issues for running no front plate.
It's a nice ticket in Iowa. Mandatory front plate

Just realized you're in the Bay! I'm here as well and have a Dravit M340. Would love to check yours out in person sometime. Do you post your car on Instagram much?

Nice build. I would lower it a bit. Not slammed, but maybe an inch to close up that wheel gap. We need more pics of the car!

My 530i has Bilstein struts for lowering springs with Eibach Pro Kit. My favorite setup was my Ohlins Road and track coil-overs that I had on my custom 2013 Mini Cooper JCW Clubman that I just sold to get this car. Wife's order, you may know how that goes . Unfortunately at this time neither Ohlins or Bilstein offers a setup for the X-Drive M-Adaptive suspension, so I will have to wait and see if they plan to release something. I also have had KW V3 Coilovers on a custom Subaru Legacy and I wasn't impressed by their setup so I won't be throwing dollars KW's way. I want to lower the car but the M-Performance carbon fiber lips aren't cheap and the clearance is already cutting it close. We will see....
The car drives so well with the adaptive M suspension don't even mess with it. Why waste more money and screw up a good thing in the process? Just my 2 cents.

I'm curious on all the shadowline trim... is that an option now for M340? I didn't see it on the website, just aftermarket bits on IND and such. the gloss black intake vents and the exhaust trim both look great in the black, just haven't seen that as an option.

Did you receive it from BMW this way or are these parts film wrapped?

Beautiful car though, nicely done!

All the gloss black parts are an option package in Canada (not sure if the OP is from Canada or not).

Wasn't this just a prototype and then a few members created their own?

Official pricelist online only Shows for M340 pure black ones without these Silver Spots. I cannot imagine how someone may create this spotted version 🤔

The black surround can be separated from the grill part. Match up a black surround with a stock M340i grill and you have that.

And this separation can be done "easily" (clips/screws ?) ? No glue or welded plastic ?

Amazing car! Do you have any sound clips of your MPE? Debating if I should add on at the port?

Thanks in advance!
