My 340i

Time has come to start a new project.
After seriously considering another N54 (these engines are getting old now and finding a good one is becoming exceedingly difficult), I ended up having to choose between an M240i and 340i. The M240i felt more like what I wanted but the 340i is more of what I needed, as we plan on starting a family in a year or two. I ended up speaking to Donovan and JJ from Sandton Auto and they hooked me up with a fantastic deal. With the paperwork done and the insurance sorted out (Thanks, Kyle and Kish) we headed to Sandton Auto Monday afternoon to pick our new ride.

A few M performance bits will be added. Thinking about the MPPK that would give it a few extra ponies. As for the driving experience, given that I have yet to pass 3000rpm, it feels rather sedate. Really loving the ZF box. It's almost as quick as the DCT when cruising around town. The ride is exceptionally comfortable for an M Sports car with run flats. I am looking forward to the cosmetic mods. Hopefully the ends up looking a little more distinctive.

Congratulations on the new ride, it's the right colour this time!

So how long 'till you void the motorplan? By the weekend I assume? :rollsmile:

Naaah. The B58 vanos unit is at the back of the engine, so if that goes the engine needs to be removed. So there is no chance I am risking that.
