2000 Miles With My M340i Touring

I'm waiting to have my M340i Touring delivered and enjoying myself watching all KZbin clips I can find while waiting 😂 Loved what you pointed out how the button you use to open the boot can also be used to shut it 👍 Didn't see anyone else mentioning it and I'm sure I wouldn't have thought of it myself ☺️

[@sammooresphoto]

Awesome, enjoy your new car! That button thing is a funny one, it took me a while to realise.

[@JIMMYHIBBS1]

Great car - I would also not go black. I’d have tan or brown leather and definitely tints - looks classier without tints, but I love the fact it stops prying eyes … you definitely need the upgraded stereos in BM - stock ones are rubbish.

[@martinboulden4388]

Great video, and a very cool car if you need to transport Labradors and Push Chairs and can only run one car.

[@veemacks7255]

Regarding the pano roof situation, I always get them tinted with limo tint. I can leave the car with the sunroof blind/cover/protector thing fully open even when the sun's directly above and I don't feel the need to close the blind.

[@sammooresphoto]

That is a brilliant idea!

[@chrisbrown9991]

The key fob issue has to do with their design. On most, the bottom button is curved and without a frame around it. I have set off the panic button more than once with both Toyotas and Kias due to this issue I now remove them from my pocket when working in the yard or shop.

[@sammooresphoto]

It’s such a silly issue, needs a change for sure

[@Shaggy12321]

I'll be picking up the new LCI M340i sometime next year... I'm still undecided on the touring or sedan, I really don't need the touring at all (no kids or pets), but it may come in handy every now and again!

[@sammooresphoto]

For me it’s the ability to chuck luggage in without having to squeeze it through a gap. And also odd sized stuff occasionally

[@MrEnlakesh]

Great review, Sam! Thanks

[@MS-tg1bo]

got a G31 (5 series Touring), same problem with the key... opened the boot twice without intent

[@CarGuyMattoes]

There’s a setting in the menu that can disable the boot opening on the key unless the car is unlocked, very useful

[@RobBoothAutomotive]

I often see someone who looks very much like you in West London rolling around in an E63 estate - any upcoming vids on that?

[@sammooresphoto]

Soon-ish, that replaced the bimmer

[@myou6675]

Seemed like a good fit, but lacking excitement. Hopefully you’ve still got a few other cars that fulfil that role anyhow.

[@sammooresphoto]

100% altho this has moved on and very happy with the replacement. Heavier but more drama and space.

[@mie-]

does this car has “unlock by approaching / lock by leaving” option?

[@andrewhurstcars]

Are you going to order the M3 Touring, Sam?

[@sammooresphoto]

Nope

[@jmac8845]

What’s going to replace it. Maybe E63s wagon?

[@sammooresphoto]

Maybe maybe maybe 🤔

This comment aged well

[@abu-saeedamin4609]

So this as a daily and your GTC 4 Lusso as a grand tourer?

[@sammooresphoto]

Almost, Lusso has now gone as didn't get much use now that there are 3 of us and another year would have nuked the value in terms of mileage (what i would have put on it).

[@abu-saeedamin4609]

@@sammooresphoto Oh, well as a viewer that quite sad to hear but at least you haven’t lost many thousands on the back of it!

[@sammooresphoto]

@@abu-saeedamin4609 indeed, I got a good private offer and i couldn't turn down the profit with all things considered.
