Nice to be back in a BMW again!

Doing the 2 car/1 car flip flop yet again, this attempt to tick all boxes (2 kids, dogs, DIY and garden rubbish, sporty fast car) has resulted in a G21 M340i Touring which I collected from Stratstone Tunbridge (who were excellent) yesterday.

Very much hoping I don't conclude it's just average at all these things - but enjoyable drive back to Bristol last night in that glorious sunshine is a positive start.

    I can't keep away from BMWs either, so I can understand your being glad to be back in one!

    A 340i should provide some fun to go with the boring practical stuff.
    Coupes because stunning!
