Bmw 340i shadow edition
Discussion
Hi guys,
So I took delivery about 3 weeks ago of my new 340i so I thought I’d share it with you.
It has the M performance power and sound kit
And the M performance kit on with carbon spoiler and tail tips.
It seems to be a wise choice as it does well as the all rounder, wife and 2 kids so not OTT as a daily driver.

Absolutely stunning. Nice colour choice. Just ordered a 140i shadow and can't wait.
Got any plans, cough, jb4, cough
I have thought about it but it has 360bhp already so for now I think that enough but once the summer comes I’m sure it will be a different storey ??Got any plans, cough, jb4, cough

i so nearly went for one of these as my station car, sadly no x-drive so went 335d with the m performance kit. sadly doesnt make the same noise as this beast! enjoy!
Agree with the X drive it would be spot on as my other choice was the merc A45 AMG bit too small for me. I did think about the M3 but was out of budget new for what I wanted 
So quick update: at the weekend I took my car out for a spin. I heard a rattle but thought must be the heat shield or something ?
Got the car home and put her back to bed and thought I’d check it over and found that one of my carbon tail tips had come off!!
The cars booked in next Tuesday but so signs of it being screwed or riveted on like the left side !!

I've seen a lot of these for sale on Facebook recently and for suspiciously low prices. Got the car home and put her back to bed and thought I’d check it over and found that one of my carbon tail tips had come off!!

Suspect they are a bit of a thief magnet.

Lovely car and a great engine! I just couldn’t justify the cost of new so found a 330i with all the toys I wanted and picked up last month too.
The m perf kit really works well with the f30s, hope you enjoy it, looks awesome - did you go for many options?
No need for loads of options as the shadow edition came with everything I wanted all bar electric folding mirrors. But I love my car to bits The m perf kit really works well with the f30s, hope you enjoy it, looks awesome - did you go for many options?
So the only thing I have done on top is have the car ceramic coated on body and wheels.
Your car looks great. I always have black cars so went for something different this time.

Ye agree regarding options as it has in effect replaced the m sport plus pack that was an option. However, as we have more than one driver I wanted memory seats, pro media and a few other extras but as only do c3k miles pa myself I couldn’t justify a new car. I managed to get a decent deal on this and therefore took the plunge getting rid of an e46 330i for it.So the only thing I have done on top is have the car ceramic coated on body and wheels.

How are you finding the 340i ? The engine on them is fantastic and it’s unfortunate that BMW have chosen to only do the straight six on 40i and above across the range as remember when a 320 used to be a straight six
