Great combination - really like the blue stitching on the seats too (though have to admit a bit bias as my e92 has the blue colour stitch option)
Waiting patiently for the G21 to go for a look. |

Love it. Love the Panda look too. Congrats on beautiful build. Would love it in my garage. Only thing I do not understand is how they can put official M color logo badge on a non M car. That's like putting an RS badge on non RS Audi. Or AMG on non AMG. Or an SS badge on a base Camaro, a Cobra snake on a base Mustang , SRT on a base Challenger.. etc, I could go on and on . Not one of those manufactures does that though. Why does BMW dilute an iconic top tier performance badge?

I remember that before BMW started with the M Sport name, the line was simply "sport" and the only M badges, were the tiny stickers on the wheels. My wife once had a 2004 E46 touring - a 330d Sport complete with 204PS and 410Nm (and only 4 ///M badges 🤣🤣🤣

The m340i, m240i, are more like the Audi S* models, not the RS* cars, or the c43 amg, not the c63 amg. The Audi RS cars or Mercedes c63 or e63 amp would be closer to the level of the bmw m* cars. Even then, the cost between those models is somewhat similar, but the brands have differing philosophies in regard to performance in their hard core sports sedan line up. |

Congrats! I really like it.
Currently running a M140i from 2017 and my eyes open to the new series ... Well done!

I will be most interested to how sporty the drive is in the M340i to see if the handling is genuinely good - is it hot, rather than just warm?
