Can’t get an M2 convertible though
(and I think it was you that told me they don’t plan on doing one)
What issues did you have with the X3M?
Soldato
Failed safety control system, external temperature sensor unable to work out what the temperature was, key not being detected in the car, driver profile problems where it'd not be avaiable, would not apply or would reset all the settings. This was over 6 months and all required multiple visits not to be resolved (6 in total)

Quite like the monochrome 
so black wheels work. There’s some brand apathy there though!

If the Jag dealers had not be so utterly disinterested last year I'd have been in what your driving...

Black wheels aside, that 8 series is bloody gorgeous, looking at the picture bigger change the colour of those wheels to silver or anthracite, the black is really hiding how nice those wheels actually look.

Picked this up a couple of weeks ago, only just got around to taking some pictures, sadly it's now quite dirty!
That is seriously nice. Best colour and best wheels. Stunning!!

Lucky escape
Darling, oh shut up.
I think that’s lovely, the wheels work nicely with the hood as well!
Shame about the X3M, on paper a good all around car! I spent ages looking at the X3 M40i but decided against buying new - otherwise would have happily had one.
Almost. I think the M340i First Edition is pretty ******* sexy.
Frozen Dark Grey & two-tone Fjord Blue/Silverstone inside is special.

Just to cheer all the black wheel lovers up, here they are in all their glory . As the sun came out I took the roof down and also got a couple of pics of the interior and carbon.
and just because, here's the roof in motion

Must be m340 week.
How about those wheels with Dravit Grey? Picked this up today, sorry for the rubbish pic I just snapped one before I hopped in to drive home. I'll sort some better ones another time. I couldn't resist this one as it was so well optioned, just missing the extended Merino for my ideal spec but the standard leather is fine.

Black with Grey stitching Vernasca
Individual Aluminium Fabric trim

Not a shadowline in sight!
Ridiculous. Did they let you hand it back without any penalties or did you px it? On paper the X3M does everything but the reviews I read on issues people are having really puts me off.

Great spec, that is the spec/colour I would get the M340i in.

Wow it really is M340 perfection day isn't it - stunning, no awful shadowline plus package, no horrible wheels and what a spec - it even has Driver Assistant Pro.
I'm properly jealous! What a car
Unfortunately all those photos of pretend carbon mirrors and black wheels and M PERFORMANCE stickers highlight all the parts of that 840i that have been spoiled
It's the sort of styling ethos that used to rarely be found outside of McDonalds carpark, how did it end up being so mainstream? Are you not tempted to rip all that stuff off and get the wheels redone J1nxy?

looked at a number of cars and came to an agreement on this. Cost me some money but was so fed up with the X3 was ok with what we agreed.
