I ordered a US Spec 2023 M340i xdrive here in Germany. It's built and in transit as of last week. Thank you for highlighting some of the differences between the German and US spec. I wish we had the alcantara seat inserts or steering wheel on the US specs. Mine is Dravit Grey with black vernasca leather and blue stitching. I did get the adaptive suspension. Great review!
@@michaellackie6274 Nice! I did get the package but I cannot stand two toned wheels. I wish I could have gotten that package with black wheels and non run flats. It’s alright though, I’m good for hitting a curb or two anyways 😂
Touring all the way!! I'm not buying a Bimmer cuz the touring isn't avail in the US 😠20" rims are PHAT, I'd buy them. Thomas is 100% correct, manual climate controls provide a superior driving experience and eliminating the gearshift lever takes away from the sporty feeling that makes Bimmers special. The 3 series would be perfect with manual climate and preset buttons, a smaller grille and a gear knob. I also don't like the single screen, just because Mercedes does it doesn't mean that's what people want. I don't want my car to shove a widescreen TV in my face.
What is the red strap sticking out of the front bump @5:20? i can't find it
Might be in the minority but I like the exhaust tips, can’t complain about a hofmeister kink!

Congrats Michael! I’m stationed in Wiesbaden (USAF) and just ordered a 23 M340 in tanzanite blue. Excited!
@@PicklePusher303 Thanks and congrats to you also! I was so close to ordering that color, LOL! I’m on base there sometimes so maybe I will see you. 😉
@@michaellackie6274 Haha yeah, I went back and fourth between that and black. Some friends and I are going to hit Nürburgring in May. Come along!
@@PicklePusher303 For sure, I want to hit up Hockenhiem right after I break it in. Did you get the braking and cooling package?

I wish it came in manual
nice review. You deserve at least 100k subscribers..
this guy stole this video and this account should be banned. The real youtube channel is Autogefühl
Soon I'm gonna buy one.
Why can't BMW get the steering right?
Install a strut bar
That looks more like oxide grey and not Brooklyn grey…
This is frozen pure grey. Not brooklyn
The notched eye was clearly better looking
