Hi,

M340d LCI 2023 was stolen earlier this month. Insurance company are sourcing me a new model from Williams BMW and initially quoting 3 to 4 months delivery.

Does anyone know the current build time for a M340d Touring?
Skyscraper Grey
Towbar
Tech Pack
Comfort Pack Plus
M Sport Seats
Black Gloss Wheels

Any feedback appreciated, can't wait to get one back.

speak to tony.lewis@berrybmw.co.uk he has sorted out a lot of people on this forum, me included. His prices are way better than Williams (I know as they both quoted) and he often has more build slots available.

Thanks. I'll mention this to the insurance company, from speaking to them today it sounded like they were needing to use Williams.

They broke into my house during the night and found the keys and drove it away. BMW App tracker was deactivated after 4 mins. Never seen it since.

Nightmare - I’ve toyed with the idea of an immobiliser like a Ghost Autowatch, but then they’ll just beat the code out of you.

More likely to just leave. Police won’t investigate car theft but will investigate burglary with violence which can put you away for 10+ years.
Not worth the hassle for most car thieves.

Most car thieves are looking for an easy take. Not trouble. I deterred some last year who were trying to steal my neighbours car by turning my bedroom light on.

My solution is a steering wheel lock and wheel clamp. Intention is to signal to them that it won't be as easy as they think.

Keys are kept with a grumpy veteran.

Odd he was completely disinterested when I contacted him for mine.

Weird, I had a very good experience with him: maybe it depends on what allocations he has left / where he is with his sales targets?
