Love Pete’s M340i Touring. I don’t know how many times I watched Joe’s video of this and other M340s whilst waiting for delivery of mine. Now I am 4 weeks in and loving it. Thanks for bringing this to your channel CMD. Keep up the content and love to see you bring back your merch too.
Fuel savings pale in comparison versus buying a used 340i to keep. Any electric car is upwards of 50-60k for basic type. Saving 30k doing that, even if you spend 5k a year in fuel it’s easily better.
Exactly. Literally every time a pro EV driver uses this as an argument, this fact blows up in his face. Second, whilst I can park my ICE car just anywhere and spend 2min per week at a gas station, these EV's are always charging on the parking lot or that single charge post in the street.... OVERLOADING electricity network like crazy and thus using energy ALL THE TIME while ICE cars just stand there wasting zero fuel. Also once majority would own electric cars, taxes will shift to weight of the car rather than engine displacement. In France, every car above 1800kg, will be charged with €10 per kg above that weight. In 2025, the Netherlands will do the same, from 1600kg upwards. So good luck with your EV's then. I'll drive my ICE Countryman to the ground rather than switching to EV.
Really interesting. And lovely. Especially loving the cognac interior, split tail gate, Harmon Kardon and heated steering wheel. Making me think about getting a grown up modern car
This must be the perfect spec for an M340 touring Pete, you’ve got great taste. First saw this car when Joe Achilles introduced the world to it and was blown away by the spec then. Is it going to a dealer and if so which one, love to see if I can afford it
It’s with Andrew Barker at Dick Lovett BMW Hungerford - where it came from, so it’s “home”. I am missing it badly, but I am also car shopping so it’s not all doom and gloom 👍
I'm thinking about buying one before I go all electric. I figure it's kind of a last dance... but I can't make up my mind whether to stay wise or to realize a dream that will certainly not be possible anymore in a few years.
Hi , I'm planning to get the m340i or m240i in Toronto. I want to keep it for 10 years with around 200,000 km driving. would it last that long ? I would be purchasing the service package with extended warranty.
Except for the electric bit….wish people would stop talking about it like it’s a case of you have to go electric at some stage like the housing market. Ev’s will NEVER be the only vehicle on the road…..Pete’s getting one as he’s dodging tax (like 99% of the other ev owners/renters)..it’s actually a crime against the climate to suggest this is ‘going green’
The comofrt pack is a complete pain in the arse because the car constantly locks itself if you toucg the outside, and as for the foot trick to open and close the boot, that is great until you are unloading and the f@cking tail gate closes on the back of your head! I know all of these will happned because they have happened to me! Save your money and push the button on the fob to open the doors.
Just discovered your channel as researching the 340i Touring, great concept your channel looking forward to seeing more videos
Thank you very muchly 👍
Great to find a review from someone who obviously loves the model
Yeah your in the right place dude 👍

Glad you’re enjoying it - brilliant thing eh?
Cheers Chris
Yeah absolute beauty - real pleasure to see it in the flesh.
Onward and upward dude 👍

Pete runs a number of cars and has replaced a few vehicles to accommodate others 👌
Well said

Great to see you gentlemen! Hope you are both well
Looking forward to a catch up buddy 👍
Much love JJ X
Still can't believe Pete chopped that in for a glorified milk-float😂
Think he’s moved on from there Vic 😆
Almost traitorous to work for petrol head tours and drive an ev in his spare time….madness
It looks amazing green with red paint calipers & but missing 792 bicolour wheels.
Each to their own chappy 👌
Really interesting. And lovely.

It’s been a wonderful vehicle to enjoy for a year. Very sad to see it go.
It made me think to Alex… absolute beauty
great spec. wish we got this in the states. enjoy it!
Thank you Brian 🇺🇸
Pete sent me some pics of that Starmist Green Chimaera 500
It is gorgeous
Sounds ace 👌
Does the dog guard come as standard?
Not sure chap - sorry

@@PetrolheadTours Thanks for the fast response, really hope to jump on one of your tours soon Pete, Joes videos of them make them very tempting.
It’s certainly up there ☝️
Looks like a Pete has beaten me to the reply (nothing new there)
Cheers for the view and comment 👍

Your only here once chap 👌
Lovely colour combination and the pano roof is a must. Gotta be the ultimate performance wagon with practicality. Nice review too…
Thank you 🙏
Cheers 👍
What electric car are you getting?
Think he mentions this in the video chap… iX3
@@CarMadDad yes serves me right for asking the question before finishing watching. Great vid thanks
Cheers dude 👍

Should easily go the distance chappy based on what I’ve read… 🤔
@@CarMadDad thanks 👍
you forgot one obvious comment Pete, yes you can easily go on a petrolhead’s tour in an m340i :)
Great point Peter ☝️
Electric + 997 C2 + Chimaera = All bases covered!
Bingo 😁
Man with a plan 👍

Lovely video
Thanks 🤗
We shall all be sorry to see that car go
We will indeed Peter
Drives me crazy BMW NA won’t bring this car over! 😢
Unbelievable 😂
They probably figure that between the X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6 and X7 you should probably be able to find a ‘wagon’ to meet your needs. 😜
BMW sure is short sighted by not selling these in the USA.
Agreed
'Electric Head Tours' :-)
Can’t see it taking off 😛
