New 340i 2018 sunset orange, yay or nay?

Hi guys,

So I've just put the hand on my new 340i 2018. I have the choice on 2 colour setup. Both have black interior. One is mineral grey and the other the new sunset orange!

Car will comme with the M package aerokit. Front lip, rear diffuser, side extension, carbon spoiler, black windows trim, mirror and front grill. Tinted window. I'm looking to put the hand on 437M wheel or the M3 completion package.

What are your though on the new colour?

sunset orange with yellow calipers would look great on 437m and black accents and window tint. i say go for it! MG is a great color but very ordinary.

Yes that color looks awesome and you'll get lots of attention. Get the m performance brakes in orange to match or yellow.

Well, deal is done! Getting delivery on Wednesday! Picture to come! Unfortunately car is coming with the M performance I and II. So blue caliper! I was thinking about the 437m wheel or the VMR v801.

Car is having all M performance aerokit + M performance carbon spoiler. And the shadow line, so black grill, mirror and windows trim. Getting windows tint on thurday morning!

Sweet, will look awesome. I was going to say that color is like BMW Individual without the $10K price tag. If you're getting aftermarket rims the car will look dope. You'll be all set for bimmerfest 2018!

Did they gave you a fair price for your Caddy? I feel like i'll get the same sensation if someone would kick me in the nuts if they take it back directly at the dealer

Im meeting with someone there next tuesday... ill probably order one to get it spec as i want it which will allow me to find someone on leasebuster

Yup! they gave me the price i asked for. I really got a really deal at bmw laval! I've made 2 quotation for the price at bmw Park Avenue and Bmw Quebec, both told me that the price is unbeatable and it's not even possible to get it at this price! The seller at park avenue told me to send him the PDF with all the inclusion, the price and also what they gave me for the caddy. He looked at it and told me, Alex, seriously jump on this deal, it's a no brainer go! and he told me, i need to talk with BMW canada because it's impossible for me to give you this price, and i'm far from that deal...

So this told me, i'm doing the right things! Just can't wait to have it! Planning on a few mods on it, but as it's a lease, i dont know if i will put a lot of money on it as my old 435i convertible.

I'm tempting by a air suspension, but in winter here in quebec, not sure it's a good idea...

Will see!

Sunset Orange on M-Sport yes... non-M... no! I saw them at a dealer and definitely didn't like it on non-msport.

Please don't do air suspension. Will you have adaptive or no? If adaptive, do Dinan springs, bumpstops, shockware. If no adaptive, bilstein or kw coilovers for drive.

Yeah I do have the adaptive suspension! I just drop off the air suspension. Really thinking Dinan spring and shockware. Also a Dinan stage 1 tune specified for the MPPSK.

Might do the same me too, also BMW Laval is one of the few Dinan authorize dealer in the montreal area! We might run in each other one day!!

I plan the exact same thing... not too sure about the shockwave, need to read more about it!!

Looking into the swaybar kit as well!
