Hi All. Glad to be part of the club. 340i xdrive is due in at dealer next week. Ordered to my spec in January - car has taken 2 months to go from production line in South Africa to Eastern seaboard - via Spain and Northern Europe. Anyway I have a 7 yr old X3 which has done yoeman's duty seriving as the "learning" car for each of my three daughters. It has the scars to show for it. But still works - trading in for the new car. I've been driving Subaru STi's for the last 5 years - modded to varying degrees. Just ready for a little quiet and refinement. Not too much tho! - the 340i is a 6MT with Msport and Track package and the MPPSK option - thank the driving Gods that someone still makes a hot car with a manual. Should be plenty entertaining. Anyway - glad to be here!
