I am close to ordering a touring shadow edition tomorrow but am having second thoughts.

I already have a 340i touring and its a grear car so I am not sure if I should order its replacement now or wait for the new G20 model coming late 18 or early 19.

The benefits will be that it will be the lastest model if I wait but its likely to be a chunk more expensive with less deals around I would guess.

The shadow edition is likely to be the last update on the current model so I could end up with the “last of the old shape” very quickly after delivery.

What would you do? run mine an extra year or change now bearing in mind it wont come til march due to factory order for the shadow edition.

Cant decide.

You're assuming the new 3 will be a car you want.

The early F30 were imo hideous vs what they are now.

What changes have happened? I wasn’t aware. Mine is an lci 340 so have there been any changes since March 16 apart from the shadow edition or do you mean the early new model could
have issues compared to a sorted f31?

The BMW F30 came out in like 2012.

It wasn't well regarded as a good drivers car back then, and it's looks were questionable too.

I think at release there was only a 'sport' model...? No m sport?


So the question is, at release of the new model will there be a superior option to your 340i or 340i shadow edition?

You're assuming there will be.

I see your point, better the devil you know and all that....
