Finally! 340 sport...

chicagoshark · 10-04-2016, 12:36 PM

well it finally came. I i'm still in shock that it actually came. I thought they sold it to someone else and were messing with me

so MY 2017 340i xdrive M sport, THP. Mineral Grey, saddle brown. Front splitter, black grill, stainless steel pedals, painted spoiler. 442 wheels.

im worried about the clearance in the front, but will have to adapt.

the Apple Car Play works beautifully.

would have been nice to get MPPSK, but maybe in the future. I like the sound of it stock. Not sure if i need any more power than this. I WANT IT, not sure if i NEED it...

I dont take pics very well...

Congrats Man!!! I've been following your saga for a while now and I'm glad you finally received your car. Your build is similar to mine. Post up pics of your interior if you get a chance!

lo_xyooj · 10-04-2016, 01:09 PM

BEAUTIFUL! If you worry about losing that splitter let me know...

FeelinBlessed · 10-04-2016, 04:26 PM

Did you ask for the front splitters to be painted when ordering?

chicagoshark · 10-04-2016, 08:01 PM

Posted some interior pics in the main forum

The spoiler looks bigger than other 340s. Is it just the angle you took the picture or are there different types of spoilers? I ordered mine with a painted rear spoiler and am hoping it looks just like yours. Beautiful car, by the way. Mine will be exactly the same as yours, just with Estoril Blue.

dkmesa · 01-24-2017, 09:07 AM

Love that color combination, superb. That's what I'd be driving if our family's 340i belonged to me rather than my wife

Speaking of my wife, if I had added a lip spoiler to hers or installed H&R springs, her front bumper would be toast. Fortunately that bumper clears most parking spot curbs without the spoiler, but definitely be careful not to pull forward too far!

insanecoder · 01-24-2017, 09:11 AM

Spoiler looks about right
Saving the MPPk for later is good
its only a 10% jump and cause theres more than enough HP already for the street if yer not gonna track it

Standard spoiler...

Is the CarPlay wireless or has to be plugged in?

Wireless, most of the time. Every now and then, it doesn't connect right away. And you have to plug it in for it to work. It's still abut glitchy in that fashion. But the new idrive is fantastic and alone made me happy I waited for 17

Congrats, car looks great! 340 is such a great daily!
