Which model did you have?

Luxury, Look/Feel, Handling, Brakes, AWD, etc?
I had a 14 S5 which I loved. The feel of this BMW is much different. Much heavier, more solid, better overall, more engaging engine.

I loved old hondas and had an Acura before the S5. The jump between the Audi and BMW was greater than from the Acura to Audi.

Rob (sales manager) and Nate at Shrewbury were great.
Curious, coming from an Audi S5, how you find the M340?

Enjoy it!

BMW is definitely more of a drivers car. The Audi was more of a balance between sport and luxury while the BMW teeters more on the sport side.

Looks great, Lasers just for the better DRLs would look great on yours but suppose the cost for better DRLs is not worth it.

Rear tints would be a nice addition.

Does the M340i remove the front fog lights?

Finally got the ceramic coat done a few weeks ago and tint just last week.

I went with 2 coats of Cquartz 3.0 and 35% tint.

Took a nice 400 mile round trip drive up to northwest Maine for a wedding. I managed 32 MPG's in eco on the highways.. which surprised me. I got to open her up on the nice roads and am surprised how capable the vehicle is. Loving it so far!

I have no idea why these pictures keep flipping... maybe one day ill figure it out.. haha!

Check engine light at 2700 miles!

I used the automatic starter while walking up to the car last night. It started then shut right down... seemed fine on the drive home..

So I ordered a M340i this week. Since Davit is unavailable I copied your car, as it’s gorgeous. I just didn’t add the carbon splitters; just the black front splitter. Rear diffuser is black, red calipers, and I added the M exhaust.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Great looking car! Just found this post. My car is on the ocean as we speak. Outside of black wheels, this is almost identical to what I ordered. Having carbon fiber mirrors, spoiler, diffuser put on. Question - when I ordered the carbon diffuser, I had to get the black trim. With that, I had to also get a black splitter for the front. But I see you have another piece below that that’s carbon. Was that ordered separately, or does it come with either the spoiler or diffuser? Not sure why I had to get the black splitter. I never saw it as a separate option. Seeing this makes me even more pumped to get mine. A few more weeks, but it’s going to seem like an eternity.

Its a little confusing the way BMW does their orders. The black "splitter" is really just a lip. You would also need to order the front carbon splitters. The carbon splitters attach to the black lip.

hope that answers your question.

That’s what I thought. I was not given an option to get the carbon fiber splitter. Thanks.

You will get the option once the vehicle hits the US. They add the majority of the M performance parts at the vehicle processing center.

Make sure you reach out to your salesman.

Cool. Different topic. I cannot get a straight answer. Did your car come from the factory with any window tinting? I’m hearing yes and no. I am getting mine tinted before taking possession, so I need to know what to get before ever seeing it. If they already have some tinting on the rear windows, it changes the game.

Dinan intake installed. A nice improvement. I noticed it helped gain some pops and burbles too. Now whether or not to do the exhaust...

Do you have the performance exhaust?

Did the intake sound change?

I have the stock exhaust for now... I my have ordered something already.. haha.

The intake noise definitely changed. The turbo noise is noticeably louder. Much more notable with the windows down.
