Do you think to change the colour of the specific M Performance gray accents?
They don't match the wheels' colour anymore.
Congratulations for the really special purchase! 👍

I'm totally with you on that I did an individual build as well and skipped the laser lights...already had to shell out like 800 to get adaptive LED here.

Anyways you have me wishing I would've gone really individual and gone with one of the greens...love it

You lucky b@stard.... we get no touring options here anymore, let alone the M340i. Stupid, stupid Americans and their ridiculous penchant for SUVs and CUVs.

I had the wheels refinished in gold before the car even arrived from the factory. Delivered the wheels to the dealer before collection day.

Not even an option, sadly, though the ZF8 is a superb gearbox.

Congrats. Impressive build with the individual green paint, M sport seats and wheels! Wish we could get a wagon in the US. Will be watching for your YT videos.

Beautiful car but the gold wheel are a bit too much for me on such otherwise very elegant build.

I want the seats. Wasn't an option in 2020! And love the colour.

Its the same here. Residuals on an X3 M40i are stronger and the payments lower, so you have to be dedicated to go for the Touring. But then its a drastically better car in every way....and demand seems to be higher than BMW expected...

Manual touring would be dumb and completely at odds with the car.

Wheels are great in the orignal colour! How much were they?

Lol why's it dumb ? Bc you've arbitrarily decided it?

It's a wagon. Manual transmissions were offered for years in previous generations of estate cars, especially from BMW.

Reason it's not offered isn't that it goes against the intent of the car, it's bc people aren't buying cars w/ a third pedal.

This isn't a Bentley Bentayga, where yes a manual would be at odds with the nature of the car. This is a regular everyday 3 series wagon where a manual is totally appropriate.

Interesting. Last car dealer I was in anywhere in EU was Audi Stockholm and the showroom floor was 75%+ touring / wagon. I'd happily buy an M3 or even M340 touring now if there was an easy way for me to store it over there, have someone maintain it etc. until I could import it in 25 years but the logistics of doing that are a big headache. I'm 40 now would be a perfect car to drive at 65 when I am retired. Math doesn't work with all the added expense we're talking RS6 Avant or Panamera Turismo money.
