Cool My New 6MT 340i

***UPDATE 02/14/2017 POST #17***

Hey everyone,

Some of you might know me from e90post as "NarekN54". I was fairly active on it when I first bought my E92 335i but then things came up in life and I never had the time or the motivation to get up and update the community on my build.

A couple months ago I got an amazing job offer I couldn't refuse. I got hired at a BMW dealership in Southern California as part of the sales team. After 3 months (you have to be hired at BMW for at least 90 days to be able to take advantage of employee deals) I started looking for cars. I was first looking at getting a m235i but my dealership general manager called me into his office one day and told me this car was in our pipeline and if I was interested. Sure enough, I reserved it, did all the paper work and autographing and when the car arrived, it was mine.

Here are some specs on it:
2016 BMW 340i
Glacier Silver Mettalic
Coral Red Dakota Leather
Manual Transmission
Cold Weather Package
Driver Assistance Package
M Sport Package
Track Handling Package

I've put about 400 miles on the car since I got it and I couldn't be happier. The car is 10x more responsive than my N54 in my E92 and it just feels like a much more solid car. I can go on about how amazing it is but I'm sure you guys have heard enough from other forum members.

Here is a picture of my E92 that some of you might recognize:

And here is my new one (better pictures coming soon)

It was a great video. I believe the car he did was a A/T, I wonder if he would like to drive my 6MT...

Thank you! I like it a lot, my E92 was 6MT also but my F30's clutch seems to be a tad bit lighter. I really like the automatic rev-matching but at the same time I don't. I wish there was an option to turn it off.

Yeah nice pickup for sure - I cannot get enough of the F30 LCI tail lights. They're just awesome and really stand out on the highway. Wish I could justify the cost to upgrade mine but not for $850 new. Enjoy the car!

Thanks for all the positive words everyone! I really appreciate it.

I could say, the modbug has bit me and that's all I think about all day. The mods have begun! First pick up is an eBay CF spoiler that I fell in love with. I kept seeing the BMW style performance spoilers and it never really had me say wow, so I decided to go a little bigger and bolder and I can say, I have not regret it one bit. Also, this spoiler reminds me of the Amuse Ericcson style CF trunk for the E92 that I was never able to afford, which might be another reason why I'm in love with it. The rear end looks incomplete right now because of my stock diffuser, but diffuser is coming very soon. Anyways, here are some pictures, let me know what you guys think:

Look good! I was a bit surprised how tall the OEM spoiler is, as the pictures don't to it justice, but this one's even taller!
