So nearly double the original bhp, and I guess it still weighs little over a tonne!

teaston · 08-23-2018, 04:04 PM

Actually I think it deserves this smilie! (Yea I know it’s a convertible, but pretty damn close)

MashinBenzin · 08-23-2018, 06:19 PM

Ian, your E30 is stunning!

To give you an idea of when you might get your 340i - my 440i started build on 25 August iirc (two years ago) and I picked her up on 8 September.

Rhino at Work · 08-24-2018, 01:14 AM

Congrats OP - I'm sure you'll love it.

Bit of a plug for my own thread but lots of experiences of timings here https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1420188

Wow, that was quick.

My current estimate for delivery is week 37 (Week commencing 10th September). I think I will need to catch Baltic Breeze on Tuesday 27th to achieve this though. It looks like the next boat to Southampton is the Arabian Breeze on the 7th of September, which may push it out a week. I guess it depends if they do much over the weekends.

Thanks. Already read through that, and most other build threads I can find

Looks like we're in proper assembly now. I'll be happy when it leaves the plant.

It's been that for weeks!

ian332isport · 08-25-2018, 09:47 AM

Looks like I'm going to be stuck at 5500 Assembly Complete until Monday now.

Probably won't make the Tuesday sailing from Cuxhaven unless they pull their fingers out.

ian332isport · 08-29-2018, 03:06 PM

As predicted, I didn't make the Tuesday sailing

It has however left the plant (yay

), and is hopefully trundling towards Cuxhaven as I type. My sales guy is still quietly confident that it will be here for the week commencing the 10th of September, but they'll have to pull their fingers out if it's got to wait until Friday the 7th for the next Southampton sailing (arrives on the 9th). I guess it could go via Immingham, which would speed things up, but seems unlikely for a southern dealer. That said, I have read of TRL supplied cars coming through Immingham. I guess I'll have to wait and see.

Have any shiny bits waiting for when it arrives?

Nothing I'm afraid. I can't even get the MPPSK as it's too new, and has the PPF fitted in the exhaust

It'll be in for a new car detail soon after it arrives, and then I need to move my dashcam over from my E46.

ian332isport · 08-31-2018, 07:09 AM

ian332isport · 09-08-2018, 07:04 AM

As hoped, it finally set sail today. Should land in Southampton tomorrow afternoon.

There'a slim chance I can collect next weekend if they don't hang around getting it to the dealer.

That's a real shame, just got my MPPSK done on Thursday and it's a revelation. Surely they'll have to come forward with an upgrade once they've got to grips with the whole WLTP thing?

Hopefully, otherwise we're DOOMED!!

Cheers
