G21 M340i Touring | Tanzanite Blue & Cognac | 898M Installed

So like a few others I have recently ordered a G21 M340i Touring as my next daily. This will replace a Mk 7.5 Golf GTI that’s been excellent.

I’ve gone for the following specification

- Tanzanite Blue
- Cognac Leather
- Oak
- Technology Pack
- Panoramic Roof
- Heated Wheel and Lumber support

Dealer is stating end of March delivery which seems optimistic to me - but I’m in no rush.

First BMW in years after a couple of Z4s ( E85 3.0i & M)

Excellent! We've been quoted March delivery too, and same as you we aren't in a rush. I'm quite relaxed about it.

Congrats! nice spec.

I'm being told end of May for my delivery...but not too fussed...

I had a Z4MC for 4 years....did over 25k miles and still sold it for more than I paid for it....can't complain about that...

To be honest that would suit me better, Z4MCs are great , I had a Roadster which I kind of regret selling.

Lovely! I’ve gone for exactly the same colour combo but with Tech/Comfort pack and Parking Assistant. Is your trim the open pore wood as that’s what I’ve gone for too? They’ll look spookily similar!

Yes it’s the Open Pore Wood so a very similar spec.

Changed my mind a couple of times betweeen the black with blue contrast stitching and Cognac.

Did you see that BMW Park Lane has an M340i in the showroom mid January that was the same combo ?

Sounds a lovely spec, great colour combination! I think the open pore wood grain is under rated, looks much classier than the normal tetragonal trim.

I changed my mind on everything several times!
Didn’t see that and can’t seem to find it on their site now, would have been good.

Similar spec to mine. I went with the Black with blue stitching in the end. Totally agree with the Oak, looks the best imho.

If I was buying again I would go for the merino leather. I considered it at the time but had to draw the line on the options somewhere!

Did you go for the M seats or the normal seats?
The M seats are only available in black or cognac IIRC.

Love your spec. Tanzanite over cognac with the open pore will look superb, though i may be slightly biased!

The best trim by far in my opinion.

Thanks for that, I wanted to go for something different to Piano Black this time, believe it or not I ended up building a mood board when I was trying to configure it .

So this morning it was finally time to pick up the M340i, weather conditions not ideal in Scotland this morning but I was impressed how intuitive the M340i is to drive, lots to get used to in the coming weeks.

Thanks, I’m delighted with how the specification has turned out. Will be busy doing some GTechniq application to the interior over the next few days. It will be going for a full detail , paint correction and GTechniq Ceramic later in May.
