Lovely oricals of knowledge advice comments needed...a little background bought the f31 330d 18 months ago now basic spec, m sport plus black panel and business nav. It's an awesome machine but the deals on the 340 haven't gone unnoticed ! So that said here is the spec and an comments would be helpful before pulling the trigger

F31 340
M sport plus
MG
Saddle brown ? Looks amazing on the 1 pic I can find on google!
Aluminium and pearl, too light?
Pro nav
Surround view , worth it?
Tow bar
Rear blinds
Comfort access

Anything else worth considering?

Planning to PartEx the vehicle?

Try and see Saddle Brown in the leather, I was planning it to go with my MG F31. Though, I wasn't as convinced when seen in person, and my wife actually didn't like it.

I'm going 30d - 40i myself. It's hard to resist that engine.

Poss part ex or webuy see closer to the time.. Interesting comments on the SB, it's a bold colour looks amazing on the config.... Tough decision and I already have black in the current 330d..

It's worth considering SB, but it looks different to the configurator and wasn't for me. I went from Black in my 330d to Black with Blue Stitching in the 340i to try and lift the interior a little.

I have an F31 in MG and went with the Oyster interior; does need a little more effort to keep it looking good compared to (say) black but nothing Dr Leather wipes can't handle and goes well with MG IMO.

I know it splits opinion but I also think the panoramic roof is nice to have on the F31. Obviously not necessary for ventilation when you have air con but it does add a lot of light and improves the cabin ambience IMO; even with Oyster leather it improves things and you'd notice the benefit even more if you have black leather with anthracite headlining and sun protection glass!

Thanks guys, decided to go for Dakota plus oyster highlights and aluminium and pearl to lighten it up.. Deal done today and est 1/10...also added interior comfort package...

If it's not too late, you might want to reconsider your saddle brown.. Have a look at the pix of saddle brown interior on my 330d. I think it makes a very appealing visual mix. i.e. not the standard dark interiors.

Do it!

[StraightSix-d]

Definitely do it!! The saddle brown, I mean...

A friend has SB on his MG 335d. If it suits any paintwork, it's probably MG.

Rather like a fake tan - it's supposed to be brown, but always ends up looking orange to me, like this UKIP candidate:

don't forget on the M sport + the saddle brown is not lower dash, that is black. I love saddle, I think it looks like an individual colour and is very low maintenance compared to Oyster / lighter colours

Black lower dash is a must IMO, still don't like the contrast with black seat backs though.
