EVO | End of Term M340i
Subscription copy of EVO arrived today with the End of Term Report for the M340i Touring- the monthly reviews were hugely influential in my decision to order a G21 M340i Touring.
Worth a read if you can get a copy.

Belatedly here, I absolutely agree. What a moving final piece that was: especially the paragraph that reflected on the fact that 'one person' at BM would have made this car happen. It's so true. I feel enveloped by my M340i in a way that makes it feel like someone wanted to make the whole experience of driving it seem bespoke and precise. Anyway, great writing in general by EVO, as ever. And a particularly gratifying monthly instalment on this model, which actually counterpoints their original--and rather brusque and snippy--review of the 40i when it first came out. That contrast of opinion between the early review and these subsequent 'fast fleet' diaries is interesting in its own right.

I agree it was an incredibly well written end of term article. There is an excellent letter in Evo 287 that acknowledges this, might be written by someone on here.
I had some correspondence with Stuart Gallagher on Twitter and he mentioned that for some reason the EVO G21 Longtermer handled quite differently to the original G20 Sunset Orange Press Car, a number of journalists on the EVO COTY who drove both confirmed the same. He said he’d not missed a long term et as much as the M340i with no rival getting close. In the knowledge the M340i is now listed as a 4 Star car . |

The letter of appreciation in response, mentioned above, is in the current (July) issue. Definitely worth perusing that end-of-term piece from Stuart G: a model of balanced and rigorous autojournalism.
