Looks great! Just ordered a G21 in oxide grey, but between your pics and the others I keep seeing on the road, thinking about going back to PB.

Did they delete the passenger lumbar and side bolster adjustment on the M Sport seats? Was going to get them, but thought the big black shell might reduce forward view for the kids. Though they would rather just mess about on a tablet than look outside, so maybe I shouldn't care...

That's a great spec - is there anything apart from a tow bar that you didn't pick?

I didn't pick it, luckily it was all ready built, all though I would have liked the tow bar.
I did put a deposit on a new build previously but pulled out due to the dealer telling untruths about a build slot they didn't have.
So lead time went from 2 moths to 5 months, I found this and got my deposit back

If you look at the my Oxide Grey here I hope it converts you back. Oxide is quite the complex colour in person and boy does she shine when clean!

Love to see more D, I think the M340d is underrated, it launches like an absolute monster! Lovely car by the way, G21 M340d's are exceptional; hope you enjoy it!

Went out in it today with no where to go ended up gone for two hours
Didn't want to come home
What a car !

I've had a m340i saloon on loan for two weeks loved the car but it did seem very busy and a bit too snatchy on take up, the dirty diesel is butter smooth by comparison and totally effortless the torque is insane

I've come from a F82 which I totally loved but this thing is on another level when it comes to comfort, practically, effectively and technology, I think we are going to get on just fine.
And 50 plus mpg at motorway speeds cannot be a bad thing

Happy Boy

Just how it should be! There's a lot going on with them that just makes you want to drive it more. The Adaptive suspension copes with our terrible country roads really well. The only downside to mine when I got her was the PZero run flats. My god, I've never hated a tyre so much! I took them off after 100 miles.

I test drove an m340d saloon first, absolutely loved it. My friend actually had an m340i on order and I have to say, the D felt a bit lighter on it's feet; the 340i had a lot of weight on the wheel even in comfort mode and the initial 0-30mph on launch felt less exciting.

Economy wise, dealing with London bound roads I don't tend to even bother trying to make progress so I just sit on cruise at 65-70 and typically pull in 58-62mpg.

I've just noticed your options list too, you went with the yes option then?

Still question whether I should have gone back to diesel, and ultimately (as a cash buyer) I weighed things up and decided not to due to the political attacks on DERV, which are even more than on petrol.

I decided that as a non high miler any more (as got 4 cars now, inc the daughters 1.0 Polo petrol that I did 63.5mpg on A/B roads without trying) that diesel wasn't a pre-requisite.

However, the torque! I've driven most of my driving life with diesels and think I am more conditioned towards diesels and find anything over 4.5k rpm a little hooliganish - well I don't really, I just find that I don't often need to go above that, and as such, a 40d would be better suited to me. For good everyday progress, I do think 500NM is more than acceptable, but 700NM......

And the one thing that I do find a wee bit ngeative (but no dela breaker), is the range. Much better than in my previous car though, but it would be nice to be able to do 500 miles on a tank!

But the politics of diesel.... (along with my reluctance to lease a car)

I was the same as you, initially considered an m340d but with the politics and potential lower resale value opted for the m340i. Roll on the end of September for mine to arrive!

I'm also a big petrol head and I've never owned a diesel so that also played a part. Got to love the sound of the i6 with a decent exhaust too haha.

Very nice! If I did the miles and lived somewhere more congested I may have gone derv but the lure of the straight 6 petrol at 6.5k is far too strong!

Seems funny all this politics about fossil fuel vehicles, no one is considering the environmental impact of Lithium Mining and the fact that it is currently using more Diesel than the whole of the USA in a year just to mine enough Lithium to produce 250,000 EV car batteries, 17.5 tons of carbon dioxide emissions just to produce one Tesla battery how can this be green motoring ??? not to mention the batteries are not recyclable when depleted.
What happens when we run out of Lithium ? what do we do with the contaminated waste ? how do we control the pollution produced during the toxic process of making the cells?
how how about a 10k bill every 8 years for a new battery? Why are we still charging green cars with fossil fuels ?

This is only the tip of the iceberg and is driven by big greedy businesses blinding people into thinking its GREEN, we are being forced into a new technology that is currently causing more pollution than any fossil fuel vehicles at the cost of raping third world landscapes and habitats as well as child slavery.

Its fine for us in the Western world its making us greener but without consideration for what we cannot see.

I don't think fossil fuels will be leaving us anytime soon

If we want to make an impact on Co2 emissions stop farming Beef for meat the biggest producer of Co2 in the world, I would give up steak if it made a difference.

So jealous. Wish we could get this spec in the US. No G21 and no 3.0d.
Would much rather have one of these than any of the dozens of SUV models they keep cramming down our throats. Guess I'm the weirdo though.
