SoFlo Portimao Blue M340i Journal

Hey Guys,

I placed my order for a Portimao Blue M340i on 2/26/2020 and it took until yesterday 7/15/2020 for me to get it, but at least its finally here.

Here's the first pics from the dealerhip. I'll be updating this with all the upgrades/changes and plenty of photos.

Feel free to follow me on IG as well @soflo_m340i

Did you go with the cooling and high performance tire package or the non-rft and space saver?

Did the non run flat space saver which oddly enough cost me tons of space in the trunk - never had a bmw with a spare so I had no clue

I’m still waiting for my car, but I ordered the same wheel/tire setup as you and also the same color. It would be nice if they gave you the option to order the tire mobility kit in lieu of the space saver tire, but I honestly don’t transport much in the trunk anyway.

Sweet. You're gonna love it. I'm glad I ordered it this way. I already removed the whole spare setup but the trunk floor panel doesn't fit and the one that fits without the spare is $295 shipped. Gonna have to do it because I always put a sub in the trunk.

I’m hoping I could take delivery at the end of the month. It left for the port on July 13, however as of this morning the status is still the same per Genius.

Yes it left the factory in Mexico on July 13. My CA told me on average it takes about 10 days to get from the factory to the port in Mexico, then on about 4 days from Mexico Port to Galveston, then about another 3 days to get to the dealer.

I went through this last month. My car left for the port on 6/2. Arrived at port by 6/3 and sat there until the boat arrived on 6/24 and departed on 6/25. It took 2 days to Freeport then 1 day to Galveston then went over to Brunswick where min was being dropped. From the time it was delivered at the port (7/6), it took until 7/11 in the afternoon to hit the dealership which was 300 miles away.

That's interesting that the floor panel doesn't fit. It's the cover of the spare tire set up that becomes the floor panel, correct? That's how the set up is in my M550, and it fits.
Maybe because of the dimensions in the G20, it's different.

I thought it would have for but the dimensions at the height with spare is different. It's wider and has more curves vs the nonspare floor is more straight. I ordered the part yesterday, let's see when it arrives.

Thanks! It's actually for the Mrs. to drive, but I am enjoying the technology which is a step above what I have in my 2019 M550.

That always sucks. 80k for m550 and the 45-50k 330 has more tech.

Yes, but it's also because the technology has improved in the last year. Although I got pretty much all the options on my M550, things such as the back up assistant, door lock and unlock as you walk up to and away from the car, lighted carpet, BMW assistant, among others, were not available a year and a half ago.
