The darkening of the chrome elements and surrounds inside the lights, it makes the car so much better looking and adds to the mean look.
The only option that was available at the time that my car did not have was the tow hitch. |

Here's a photo of an M340i that was at my dealer loaded with pretty much everything including the Executive package that includes the laser lights. It's not a great quality photo as I grabbed it from the dealer's website but I cannot tell if there is a darker accent around the lights specifically. Doesn't look like it. |

I looked into the parts - as far as I can tell the wiring and back end stuff is all there. I couldn't find anybody who had installed the sensor and coded it. I convinced myself that you needed Driving Assistance Pro but I would very much like to be proven wrong. Thought I would pursue this spring since winter in MN is a lousy time to do anything.

The shot you attached does not indeed show the shadowline lights so here is a shot from the G30. In real life it looks like a gunmetal finish. |

Agreed. Looks much better. A shame we don't get that option for the regular 3 series here. I could be wrong though I have not seen that option anywhere.

Ambient Lighting G20
Although my G20 is a loaner, with nice color combo Mineral Grey Metallic on Biege, I thought the car had the ambient lighting option but It didnt. Totally worth it and for $250, BMW should make it STANDARD.
Personally, I would not mind paying up to $1000 if a BMW dealership can add this option for me. |

I regret not getting M Sport seats, but they weren't in red leather, thus the regret is only marginal.
On the other hand, I don't regret not getting adaptive suspension, as the difference between Comfort and Sport was barely noticeable and the M Sport suspension has the better springs anyways. I confess to choosing the Driving Assistant Professional just because the front radar looks better than the Driver Assistant's one. I'm upset EU variants don't have lock/unlock buttons on passenger door. While it is available in US/CA, I wonder why BMW didn't enable this option in EU, should it be for a reasonable price. Why BMW, why? Last edited by Baworak; 03-03-2021 at 09:44 PM.. |

Hi,
I've had my M340 for a little over a year and a half; have been following this thread for a couple of days. What package do I regret not getting? While I am anything but a fan of run flats, I didn't get the ZTK package, consisting of added oil cooler & performance tires (don't think larger front brakes were included). I've already swapped out front axle. I must add, however, the non-square set up (225 front & 255 rear) handles great. I did get Executive package because of the HUD, which I found absolutely useful on my last BMW; however, the Gesture Control is not -- since both my better half & I use our hands when speaking, right after we picked up car, we had iDrive & radio going nuts! I unchecked it and haven't used since Finally, one piece of advice. Make sure whatever wheel set up you get causes option 840 to be included. I am glad I did because that increases top end speed from 130 to 155mph & really unleashes the beast in this great car that does a terrific job of being both a DD & a Performance machine Hope that helps!

I ordered the 791 cerium grey 19" wheel option with high-performance non-run flat. My CA told me that he normally saw PS4s come with that setup.

I'm looking at my order sheet and it includes "840 Increased top speed limiter". I would think that ordering an M340i that is definitely standard, no? Can't imagine owning an M performance car that won't go over 130mph. The ZTK package I find interesting because there is absolutely no mention of larger front rotor/caliper on the BMW USA website. Only found out after reading the lengthy thread here on this forum. I opted for this just to get performance non runflats. Executive package isn't required in order to get HUD. It's included with the less expensive Premium package. I may have misinterpreted your explanation however. I thought about getting the exec package for the laser lights but decided it wasn't worth it. I certainly didn't want that stupid gesture control. Seems pointless to me. One thing I did realize is that I don't know whether my car will have a staggered tire package or the same on all 4. Hmmm. |

No front plate is a good compromise though ha ha Not much sun either here on the east coast of Canada 🤪 My HUD is certainly not visible with mine on but my vision certainly isn't stellar!! |

Depends on the polarized glasses... some work OK with HUDs. Otherwise just tilt your head a little .

TiMSport ,
Oopso, you got me, my error. Gesture Control was part of Executive package, which I opted for auto high beams & LED headlights with laser beams Indeed, if you don't get the right wheel package, you won't get the 840 option which ups car's top end to 155mph
