You'd think there are much fewer company car drivers nowadays though - isn't it far more commonplace to offer a car allowance rather than a company car? That said, even for the private motorist there are still financial benefits to choosing an electric vehicle or a hybrid.....

Cash alternative for me would be about £6k a year so somewhere around £250-£280 extra a month in my pocket. £280 to lease / buy a car and run it... My new 330e and unlimited private fuel costs me around £270 extra a month which includes everything... |

340xd ordered last week
Quote:
I ordered a 340xd that is expected in MAY and the fact that it has 48 volt system is a huge bonus. I am looking forward to it. |

Good for you. I would have given this a second thought had it been available at the same time as the 330i.

Am I missing something, as you still can't configure one in the UK, so I'd be very surprised if one was being delivered in May!
They only released it this week - and haven't even confirmed if it'll be here in RHD form, which I still find very unlikely. |

If you type autobert into YouTube you'll see a new M340d tourer in RHD in the UK. I think it's a BMW car so the fact that someone has ordered one and with this video it's certainly in the UK

Autobert had an M340i Touring to review a few months before they became available through UK dealers and I'm pretty sure it was the BMW UK car that was on display at the golf tournament at Wentworth back in September. So I reckon young Bert probably has a close relative who works at BMW UK and gets him access to all these various cars to review! In terms of the M340d, I was one of the cynics who thought it wouldn't make it over here but the existence of the car in the autobert video certainly suggests it will. However, unless you're a very high mileage driver personally I don't see the attraction or appeal over the M340i.... |

Ps I think I was in the right place at the right time when the opportunity to order came up. I assume the configurator will be updated soon. There is also an article on the uk release on top gear post.

M340d now listed on the BMW UK website here https://www.bmw.co.uk/en/all-models/...19/inform.html
"Also available featuring a diesel engine, the BMW M340d xDrive offers 340hp and goes from 0 to 62mph in just 4.6 seconds. It’s everything you expect of a BMW 3 Series Saloon, yet with so much more." The configure now button still only lets you do the petrol.
