Awesome! Nice to see another 6MT RWD 340. Enjoy it

I also bought my car with MPPSK, thought it was a bit quiet in comfort so I added a AA catted downpipe. Would recommend that if you are looking for more sound. In sport mode (with valves open) it sounds incredible (although a bit raspy in mid range).

As for the manual itself, the stock shifter and clutch pedal felt flimsy for me so I did an autosolutions ssk and the ultimate clutch pedal - made such a big difference. As you can see i did get the mod bug... lol

I just sold my 2018 340i M Sport to a young guy in the burbs and moved to a 2020 G20 M340i. I love the M340i powertrain (it’s a beast!), but the car is a little too techie for me and I’m missing the simplicity of the F30.

Where in NH? I have an old army buddy in Nashua.
Thanks for the recommendation! And I picked it up in Merrimack, NH. 10-15 mins from Nashua

Thank you! I like the tone(s) with the MPPSK. I don't think I'd change it. I may do a catted downpipe + tune down the road but I'm unsure

Mod bug will catch me sooner or later

I'm very excited to finally join the BMW family, this is my first one

PS. 33.7 mpg average was unexpected
Looks fantastic, congratulations! I can't wait for mine, picking up a 2018 340i xDrive 6-speed on June 29th. Flying one-way to Spokane to pick it up and then driving it back to Kansas City.
