Nice car

I'm not sure it is a shadow edition, It has the 442m wheels on it and the shadow edition came with 704M wheels, also they had a single slat black grille, the one on the car looks after market with twin slats. In saying that it doesn't detract from the car just maybe a title correction.

Thanks, it's deffo a shadow, it came up as such when I entered the reg for my insurance. So looks like the previous owner made some changes, I like the single fin grill so I will probably change that back, just going to paint the wheels black and change the caliper color from blue to red.

Don't see many in red at all and I think yours looks really good with the black accents/m performance decals.

I have also just noticed that the 340i F30 doesn't come with the gills on the side like the 440i F series which is interesting.

Enjoy it!

Agree. OEM BMW M Sport grilles look much better. Exactly what I fitted back to my F31 when I got it last Jan. Don't like the double slat ones at all

FYI this is the boot liner for the F30 saloon you want

Ah man thanks for that, Ive just ordered it, I really hope the garage doesnt shaft me now and sell the car to someone else, they have all my money but you just never know do you. I really wanted a touring and ive been looking for a red one for weeks, this came up so I decided to go saloon, i dont intend to keep it as I need a bigger car for me tools, thought i would have a bit of fun in the 340 for a bit first now.

Thanks, I really like those side grills too, damn. LOL. I hope the colour doesnt make it a bit niche when I come to sell it, I absolutely love it, its the nicest car I have ever owned, never been in a position to pick my fave colour, its 10x what i have ever speant on a car in my life.

I think it's called "sunset orange" and I wish I'd gone for that when I bought my f31, but she who must be obeyed said I'd chosen the engine so she got to choose the colour. Estoril blue with the black shadow bits looks good, but not as good as that 😁

Mine? Its melbourne red, its a metalic, the colour is deeper in the flesh. Your lucky, my wife nearly kicked me out when I said i wanted to spend 22k on a car, then she asked me why i was looking at spending more money on it when she caught me on my laptop, its like she caught me looking at porn! As far as shes concerned there was nothing wrong with our OLD car and Ive just purchased a new penis extension, doesnt matter that it was my pension that paid for it, if she had her way i wouldnt even be able to buy new wheel nuts!

For comparison, mine is sunset orange…

You have to stop posting photos of it Shadowmanrider because it just makes me want it every time 😂

Such a rare and gorgeous colour 😍

[Shadowmanrider]

Ah right, yes thats nice, I cant help thinking my car looks more imature, the burnt orange is much more sedate looking, probably why my wife thinks the boy racer in me is coming out, at 58 its too late for a mid life crysis.

Seen that quite a while back, listed back in October. That did interest me but ended up wanting a 440i instead (which I'm still searching for with the right spec).

That explains why they dropped 500 off the price before I looked at it. I got too impatient waiting for one with everything I think I need, figured I could be dead before that happens and I don't have a nice car to drive while I'm waiting.

Yeah, it’s had a few price drops since then. In the same boat but I’d rather wait it out with the spec I want rather than settle for one which I won’t be happy about 🤣

Do you have to tie it down when it's clean to stop it escaping then...

Well spotted Alscoob ! I was wondering if anyone would comment 🤣

Needed to drag the toy out of the garage to clean that afterwards. It’s not running at the moment, so needed a helping hand 😜
