2016 340XI M Sport

M3vk23 · 06-30-2016, 10:49 AM

Hey guys, Just wanted to introduce myself and share my new ride. I am new to the F30 side of the forums after spending many years in M3`s.

It all started with my first M a 99 E36 and the rest has been history. Since then my love and passion for this brand makes me stay a committed customer for years to come.

For the past year I have been driving a F82 M4 and let me tell you the car is truly amazing.
Here are the details of the new ride.

2016 BMW 340XI
Black Sapphire Metallic
Black Dakota Leather with Oyster Highlight
Fine Line Anthracite Trim
6MT

Packages:
Technology Package
Lighting Package
Cold Weather Package
M Sport Package
Drivers Assistance Package

Options:
M Performance Splitters & Lower Lip
M Performance Painted Rear Spoiler
M Performance Shift Knob with Alcantara Boot
M Performance Exhaust
Black Kidney Grilles
Adaptive M Suspension

First are some pictures when she first arrived at the dealer ready for PDI

Delivery Time

Took her to get tints this morning & tomorrow will be mounting OEM Silver 19" 437`s.

Future plans will be MPPK when it gets released, Burger Tuning Intake and Suspension

cmplaya · 06-30-2016, 12:10 PM

nice...i've never even been inside an M car with the engine on before. how do they compare?

VividRacingII · 06-30-2016, 12:29 PM

Looking good!

I was wondering why you went with those nice M Performance mods but then didn't change the wheels, then I read further and it made sense!

I just did the BMS intake on mine and it's totally worth it as your first aftermarket mod!

PARTS@STBMW · 06-30-2016, 12:52 PM

Congratulations, looks amazing!

very different, M console just feels more refined and stable. Power in the F82 even stock is unbelievable. Once they release the power kit for this car and the intake i think i will be more than happy

Haha yeah this was the only one near me available with 6MT at port. I was still able to add on all the M performance parts but couldnt change the wheels.

Then I stumbled across OEM 437`s and they are going on tomorrow. Did you notice a change in pick up and performance from the intake?

Maybe, but it's very minor if anything. The sound is easily the best part. I actually didn't like it at first, but then fell in love with it after giving it some time.
