Starting price in Norway for the 340 touring is 94225€ before any options. Wonder why we are best at selling tax free EVs.. 😂

Funny how people say 45k etc is to much for a 320. Here you will pay stock M3 money for a 320 with 50% options ticked.. 🤣 320d xdrive starting at 69k.

Petrolheads on the continent should be very affraid when they hear their politicians talk about our "sucsess" in converting to EVs.

What about shifting to Reverse?

It's not that simple.

In a collision investigation, they'd be able to download data from the wreckage to prove that you disabled the limit intentionally. It would work against you in court. Insurance companies might put exclusions in their contracts in case you do. Even if speeding isn't the cause of the collision, they could argue that speed was a contributory factor.

With an old car, you can argue that your speed exceeded the limit without you realizing. In the future they'll be able to prove that you did it intentionally.

Driving is just not going to be same again. Year by year , the fun and convienience of using a car is being chipped away.

I suspect that when it is introduce, it will be the number 1 option that people turn to coding for….

Yeh big brother is certainly here( well been here for quite some time already)

If you want to track them head to Instagram Andrew.Barker.BMW

Just been to Hungerford and bloody hell Andrew your collection must be the biggest in Europe. It’s a beauty to walk around the top floor, jealous you get to do this daily.

UK model with left hand drive.
Ouch.

Can’t wait for the US Configurator to be launched. I’m guessing no carbon roof?

I’ve got the first allocation my dealer gets. Going with a fully loaded M340i xDrive, most likely in Skyscraper Grey Metallic. Im thinking of going with the 50 year emblems as well. They looked good in some of the reveal videos on YouTube.

I don't want a little nub. There's nothing empowering or cool in design looking at the little thing.

That's what he said. Everyone loves to grab the knob. Especially women. Have you ever watched a woman drive a manual transmission? They give that knob the death grip.

Here's the Car and Driver article on the 2023 3-series.

Who doesn’t like a death grip on their knob?

I'm really hoping the Melbourne Red is available on the M340i in the US. I don't typically like a red BMW, but I feel like it really looks on on the redesign.

It really is a nice looking red and we could use some additional non-monochrome options. I'm really hoping that San Remo Green gets added to the palette too.

Carbon Fiber roof option now? Or that's only in UK?
