😅 😅...still haven't gotten around to do this, it's crazy at work this year! 🥵 But REALLY enjoying the car so far! Only downside so far is they made the LCi a lot quieter in terms of exhaust note compared to the pre-LCi I had. The pre-LCi had really nice aggressive start-up, this one is a lot quieter, but I knew this from the homework I did before I bought it. The same with the burbles and pops in sport mode, toned down quite a lot.Starting to think that weekend turned into a full-blown sabbaticalHope all’s good on your end!

How's she treating you bud? Went by your usual park spot since the schools re-opened but seems you guys are busy with some renovations there.
Hi Teezoh, yes we're doing some renovations, moving back in next week. We were working from home the past two months. Hopefully all back to normal again from next week onwards.
The car is awesome, I'm extremely happy with it. I was afraid I would miss the M340i, but I can honestly say I don't. The X3 is only slightly down on performance obviously due to the extra weight, but I was looking for the added benefit of the practicality from having an SUV. Most of my life I was a platkar guy, but ever since I bought my 1st X5 long time ago, I'm a converted SUV fan, as long as it has a decent engine with it, then I'm happy. I also need a car with a tow bar since I occasionally need to tow my bike along when going on holiday, again, comes back to the practicality of the car.
The only reason I bought the M340i when I did was because I just had to have one based on all the rave reviews, I always knew I'll go back to a "performance" SUV after my stint with the M340i, even before I bought it. I love the B58 platform, this is now my third car in a row with this engine and it really is a great all-rounder, loving it.
I also found that these M-lite cars are all very close to fully specced. My car has every option except heated steering wheel, 3-D camera and cellphone charging pad. From these missing options I'm only missing the 3-D camera since I became used to it from having it in my 2 previous cars.

Great to hear man! I've seen a couple of new ones there in the area this past week. Remember to post some new photos when you get a chance please! I'll keep an eye out then next week
Saw your old car too on Monday I believe, if not yours it was exactly like yours regarding looks. But that area has some new creepers running around lol, no idea where they all just came from but they're all in the spirited driving vibe. Pitty the traffic is always so heavy otherwise I would join in on the fun. Particularly an i8, Mustang Dark Horse and a grey/silver Lambo all heading too and from the school.
