Thanks! It's certainly one of those cars that gets me turning round constantly after parking it. Definitely no spec regret on this one!

nicknaz · 10-12-2015, 05:27 PM

wow RWD 340 wagon!

Nice car!

Wish we had that here in the US, or at least those cloth seats

NickR85 · 10-13-2015, 06:54 PM

Was it hard to get the colour approved? I know you explained the stages but I'm just curious as to how much hassle it was as i'd definitely consider it on my next car.

Tbh I don't actually know how much work my sales advisor did for it. It's not the first time he's been able to do the seemingly impossible for me so I suspect he or the dealership has a bit of a special relationship with BMW

Daftasabrush.....

you really should be BANNED from this forum....for getting such an AWESOME car!

Completely unfair that we can't get this on the other side of the pond...........I mean...

this is 'Merica after all!!!!

tc328 · 10-17-2015, 08:53 PM

Oh shit...thats badass

LordNathanD · 10-18-2015, 06:49 AM

From looking at the exhaust it almost looks like a performance system, could imagine it would probably give some gains for the 335 owners? Unless its the same system?!

Oh, and i see mandrel bends too

DarrenL_007 · 10-18-2015, 06:56 AM

mtbnole · 10-18-2015, 07:03 AM

Those seats!!! Can we get those on individual in the US? Not sure on the trim but this is an awesome build. Nice work sir. Enjoy it

It's a completely new system I'm told, don't know how compatible it is with the N55.

I don't think you guys can get them but always worth a shot asking your dealership, I agree, the trim was a bold choice but I'm definitely warming to it! Thanks

Dackelone · 10-26-2015, 06:12 AM

Such an awesome build/specs. Bravo!

NYAWE60 · 10-26-2015, 03:48 PM

That definitely is gorgeous

maf330xi · 10-26-2015, 03:54 PM

wow, that rear is just stunning

. I personally love the design of the Audi wagons, but this one is a serious competitor!

Great choice on the colour and interior trims options!

s!ke · 10-26-2015, 03:55 PM

They don't sell the Wagon in the States do they?

My next car is probably going to be a wagon, but I didnt think they sold the 3 series wagon in the U.S. so, is my only choice the a4?

bimmin · 10-26-2015, 03:59 PM

Love it. In the US if you want a wagon you cannot get it with the 40i engine (28i or 28d only) and xdrive is the only option. I kinda want the wagon myself but I worry the 28i engine wont be quite enough for me :/ A friend of mine who has a car with the 28i engine says it feels very weak when going up hills.

tuco44 · 10-26-2015, 04:01 PM

Beautiful F31, love the color. Wish we could get the 335i in the wagon in North America.

ando · 10-26-2015, 04:01 PM

Congrats. Awesome build and SMB is beautiful on the F31.

What bimmin said. I don't think NA has the 335 touring option.

deemo319 · 10-26-2015, 04:25 PM

Damn, that thing is gorgeous!!!!!

omegaSMP300 · 10-26-2015, 04:30 PM

I have owned one blue car and although its not for me I do seeing the color on other people's car. That being said having been watching shmee150's youtube channel and his current "blue crew" has been quite enjoyable.

Your car looks great. Enjoy sir!
