This is my first BMW, so I was cautious on spec.

G20 (saloon?) SB with shadowline and carbon fibre interior with some other bits and bobs.

It's a bloody awesome car. You will not be disappointed.
I'm at 750 Miles now and starting to lean on the throttle. Still haven't taken it above 4000 rpm, but just wow. The m340i goes round corners in a way which is so solid, so planted it's like night and day to my previous 440i gc.

Probably the only dealer I didn’t visit in the central belt!

Indeed, soak up the occasion. It's a truly tremendous car--I get a frisson of anticipation every time I pick up the key ahead of a decent drive. I've had mine since April and have already done 3K miles. Once you've run it in, be prepared for some serious enjoyment as you open that creamy 6c up to its impeccable potential...

Hope you enjoyed the day. I was so excited the night before collecting my F31 335 (good few years ago now) and G20 M340i that I hardly slept!

The M340 is an epic car and as others have said, once it’s run in you’ll be looking for any excuse to go out for a blast!
