    I found the ZF8 in the M340i to be a lovely auto box, the one issue would be slowing down for roundabouts and then accelerating if you had almost stopped, but not 100% (slight delay whilst it works out you are no longer stopping and want to accelerate again). This is about the only issue I have...

    Enjoy :) were you lucky enough to get the PS4S (it appears you have from the pictures), I got the PZero sadly, although with the weather so far I haven't been able to appreciate it as much as I hoped yet.

    They were the least black of the original options (black but diamond cut), but I did like the wheel design :) Original:

    What have you done to your car today?

    Didn't actually do it myself, but I had the colour of the wheels changed earlier this week.

    Gave it a quick clean and changed the colour of the wheels, aware that quite a few people don't like the new grill, and possibly not my colour choice for the wheels either:)

    Looks like a fun day, and would have loved to attend, but also out of the country.

    I dont actually find the screen terrible for adjusting the heating (I don't adjust it that often and it's on screen all the time, I'd say it's just as easy as it was on the M340i, possibly easier), I did prefer having buttons for the heated seats although I think there are more settings now. The...

    What is a non authorised dealer when it comes to tyres? I have always just bought/had tyres fitted wherever I selected (Black Circles, Costco etc), the only limitation I had was once on a tyre cover product where I ended up having to use KwikFit (due to the claim/authorisation process being very...

    OcUK HQ Motors Meet Take 4 - Cars, Computers & More - Saturday 25th May 2024

    I'd like to attend, bit of a trek (180 miles) to get there early enough to be on the display (would be great to display, and no issues me being awake to drive, but ever tried waking up and having 20-22 year olds ready to actually leave by 5/6am!?). Will pop up with my daughters and then go and...

    Massive Car insurance costs?

    The joys of how the logic behind the quote process, statistically maybe less likely to be in an accident than a model that's more common, among a lot of other factors :)

    I think I ended up with an overall average of around 28.4mpg on my M340i over 24,000 miles. In constrast the M3 is showing an average of 23 for December over 715 miles, although until the 12th December it was still being run in and the weather has been rubbish so will see what it reports in the...

    Massive Car insurance costs?

    Good luck!, although my car isn't modified I was having issues insuring it before I collected it (it was nigh on impossible to select the correct car on any comparison site 73 M3 Saloon didn't seem to exist) had no luck with Adrian Flux, spent 30 mins on the phone and the cheapest they came back...

    Massive Car insurance costs?

    My wifes renewal came through last week, up from £180 to £280, comparision sites were showing around £320 lowest. I added her to my policy on Admiral (went to multi-car) for 291 days for a grand total of £49 inc protected no claims.

    What have you done to your car today?

    Not today, but Tuesday I drove it to have it's running in service, so now I just need better weather to make an appearance so I can actually do some miles when it's not freezing/raining/miserable.

    Looking lovely! That one light on the wall that looks lower than the others irks me somewhat!

    It looks like the M340i didn't hang about long, it appeared on their site after around 3-4 days for £36,975 (I think) and had gone from the site in around a week (and since it's now taxed again I assume it sold).

    You are correct, they’re the standard seats, it’s my daily car and I don’t think i would get on with the bucket seats at all. I traded it in, I got just under 33k with a brake fluid service outstanding (due to my local dealership being useless and cancelling the service a few days before it...
