I like it.

Bleser · 11-29-2015, 06:12 AM

Wow; it really pops with the detail job.

.BMW. · 11-30-2015, 03:33 AM

The detailer has made a great work.

Looks amazing!

Wow, niiiice job...Awesome car! Congrats!

Clarkey · 01-03-2016, 04:18 PM

Well, this is my first post and I still don't even have my 340 yet!

Love the car by the way, Beautiful Colour.

Mine is due to be delivered this week, in Mineral grey, but I'll save the details until I have it. However your post has now inspired me to change from have the M performance bodykit in Black, and I'm going to get it body coloured instead.

I was really caught in 2 minds as to whether to buy an M3 but needed the practicality of the Tourer.

My question to the Bimmer post is this: BMW told me there was no power kit for the 340i, but there is a full exhaust system, Manifold back, at about £2900. Is this the only power upgrade?

And if it is, and there are enough 340 UK owners out there who like this idea, fancy trying to get a group buy together to reduce the price a bit?

saaltonen · 01-04-2016, 12:09 PM

Wow... this is absolutely incredible...

As a Pre-LCI F31 328i x-drive owner, I hate you. Being an American is great and all, but what I wouldn't do for a 340i F31... Even if it was an x-drive

silvertoy · 01-04-2016, 06:21 PM

Amazing color!

OwenMeasures · 01-05-2016, 09:25 AM

I thought i recognised this car park!

It was an agonising wait, getting approval for the colour and waiting for various stages to be rubber stamped at BMW but was definitely worth it.

It has the full M Performance body kit and will soon have the LSD too, as soon as it's available. Possibly further mods too, ideally I'd have an M3 touring but instead I'll have to make do with this

Updated with a couple more pics of the rear from before the shipping blocks were removed, one underneath shot and some interior shots.

Updated 28th Nov 2015 with photos post detail and wet sand.

You'd be better off posting in the UK section of the forums: http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=412 but I still think there's some doubt about what the M Performance exhaust is, there could be two, one that comes with the MPPK when it's announced (Cat back) and one that is available now (axle back), I've not heard of a manifold back one. There's more info in this thread: http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...1182203&page=5 and I'm sure there's another one but can't find it atm.

09135ijh · 01-20-2016, 04:59 PM

love it, wish in the US we could get the wagon, 1 series hatch or even these cool individual colors

Mikli · 01-20-2016, 07:19 PM

Bling Bling! This must be one of the most fully optioned F31 touring around here. Very nice indeed!

We only have F31 328i or 2016 330i both Xdrive in Canada but they usually optioned to over CA$70k.

remmib · 01-23-2016, 09:23 AM

Wow, gorgeous f31, especially after the detailing.

TheRickster · 01-25-2016, 05:14 AM

Wow this is my all time favorite paint and it looks absolutely incredible on that car! This is by far the nicest F3X I've ever seen, and honestly I would probably take one of these in SMB over a normal F80 M3. Really like the interior as well. I'm sure this gem will hold its value over time.

Headers · 01-25-2016, 12:41 PM

Truly stunning car!! Congrats!!

subsy · 01-31-2016, 02:29 AM

Love it daftasabrush - awesome everywhere

Are the seats an individual option also? I'd too prefer alcantara to leather.

The seats are now offered as an alternative to Dakota, my first build had them last year and they were a special request item then, they've since brought them in as an option.
