I took one for a test drive today. Auckland traffic not great so wasn’t really able to get a great feel for the car, but liked what I experienced. One question, how did you find the overall comfort? Those 20” tyres look real skinny!
Parts bin special? It's got the brand new B58 engine with a (unique to the x40 power plant) M Performance Power & Sound Kit. It's hardly BMW searching through it's existing parts for something to make.
What you on about, the BMW 340i is the best in its class period. I have a 340i Shadow saloon and in all honesty, it is the best in its class. As for the Touring, it is better than an S4, regardless of whether you are a Kiwi or not, or whether you love them in NZ or not. By the way, you can get that exact motor here in the UK. But it was developed in Germany, not NZ, just saying.
Beast of a car, 20 inch alloys, mine has the 19 Orbits, yours looks really nice in the touring. Expensive the cars back home in NZ though. I guess that is because of the import taxes and such from outside NZ?.
He can't drive. Most of the noise comes from his mouth rather then the exhausts. Please pick a Merc E220d taxi edition next time. This car is extremely sporty, but his tiny balls don't let him drive properly.
Go Kiwi UA-camrs!

I love that exhaust sound 😎
Excellent review, really nice car, I could be tempted...

Is this available in NZ with xDrive so it can compete with the Audi S4 Avant? It is in the UK where the S4 is now a hybrid (non turbo lag) diesel.
dream car
