Took the plunge....

Placed the order today... Getting back into the 3 series after several years.

Ordered a 340i xDrive with:

Alpine white
Black leather with ash wood
Cold weather package
Lighting package
Track handling package
Driver assistance package
Driver assistance plus package
Technology package

Also informed the CA that I'd like to take delivery with the MPPK. Week 49 production so guessing delivery middle of January delivery. The dealer had to swap for allocation... really hoping I don't cave and take something off the lot...

I just placed my order for a 320i
Alpine white
6mt
Sport package
Lighting package
Track Handling package
Moonroof
heated front seats

I am up in the air about the ALpine white with the orbit grey wheels.. I kinda like jet black with the grey wheels.. any opinions would be great, I have about a month to decide..

Nice car. Personally, I really like to contrast between the grey wheels and the white paint. This is my 4th or 5th Alpine White car. Love the color. Personally, I think the black would be too close in color to the grey... But that's just my opinion.

Thanks sooo much for your opinion, Almost everyone that i've asked said the same.. and after going online and building both colors, i'm now sticking to the Alpine white.. I agree the black would be too much with the grey wheels..

This is my 3rd alpine white :-) looks like they got me hooked :-) Best of luck on yours too!!!

MPPK is the M Performance Power Kit...its to boost the HP/TQ in the engine but the new one come with Exhaust Kit...it was separate on the old version. You still can get it for the N55 engine. (340) B58 MPPK was just announced..

well I don't wanna go crazy myself as it is a lease... Imo the newer beemers don't do so well with higher mileage.. so don't wanna invest a lot into something i'm "Renting" Tints would be the only thing..
