Hope your search is going well. I also just came over from an Infiniti (Q50 RS400) to my first BMW. While I loved the car, the M340 feels like such an upgrade. Both are fast, but the transmission/suspension/technology are far superior.
I searched for a few months before I found the one. Buying used was tough as I am very picky and wanted it as fully loaded as possible. The only options I didn't get were the shadowline package and adaptive suspension. The shadowline was no big deal as I have already swapped out those pieces of trim, but I do wish I had the adaptive suspension. I don't mind it so much, but when I have others in the car, it would be nice to have it ride a bit smoother. I am going to go from the stock 225/40/19 square setup on run flats to a PS4S size 235/40/19, I am thinking that will soften up the ride a bit. |

If they don’t choose the right form of the warranty inquiry it does show the previous owner, so their default position is we can’t show it to you, but there is a form they can print that only shows details about the car with no identifying information.

All of the dealerships around here were pretty straightforward with that info. I reached out to many in OH, and even into MI and PA when I was on the hunt. All of them were able to provide the link to the ipacket which had the CPO checklist, car fax, etc. Maybe it is finally starting to become more of a common practice.

I still can't wrap my head around the idea why BMW would ever even consider putting 225 in the back M340i to begin with. Actually i have been asking the same question since 2012 when F30 335 was introduced. Last edited by oonowindoo; 03-30-2023 at 05:51 PM.. |

But I do agree, these are way to small from factory for an M Performance model |

My experience and belief is that if it says BMW CERTIFIED that is indicating that it is a CPO car. Incidentally, I had a BMW adviser tell me that CPO is approximately $2000 in terms of value in their eyes.
