Yes, my loaner a 320d touring had black interior and privacy glass.
A tomb is a great way of describing it. A big no for me. I thought sunroof would mitigate it, but no guess not.

I had pro nav on my 335i E92 and I was much happier with that size screen. Does that mean the silver one has a small screen ??
Business nav has a small 6" screen and lacks the split screen on the pro nav. I've got pro nav on my E92 and find the split very useful. I guess I'll just have to wait a bit longer or be less picky.

Anyone tell me what the normal "hi-fi" is like? I'd like the HK system but it seems that getting pro nav and HK together is tricky.
I'd strongly advise avoiding the Business Nav on a 340i - it will make the car tricky to move on when you're selling, as EVERYone will be looking for Pro Nav....

I've already discounted the business nav - it's pretty poor. Guess I'll have to be patient.

Have you thought about asking a BMW dealer to check new UK stock? I did this at the end of September and they found me a 340i auto with the colour and spec I was happy with and I beleive I got a good deal as they wanted to register some more cars for the quarter. List was £44.5k and I got £11k off, although invariably others will have done better but I was happy to deal with a local dealer that I had bought from previously.

Well I had a look at the Estoril Blue car today and two things struck me - first, it's overprices and second, it was like sitting in a tomb - black everywhere, heavily tinted back windows - even with the sunroof open it was terrible. May go and look at the silver car in the week but I'd prefer professional nav which it doesn't have.
Found BMWs with black leathers and tinted glass dreary and depressing internally. It's hard to find a non-tinted M Sport car . BMW tints are just too heavy.

I bought my 4 series and specced it without tints in the end. I think it looks better and changes the cabin imo
