As above

My G31 530d has been superb if occasionally flawed however is getting on a bit and now the boys and dog have left home is too big for our needs

Consequently a current M340i Touring would be perfect

Im conscious of spec being stripped away with every facelift and have some homework to do in terms of what I "need"

HK audio is not negotiable as is decent leather/trim

Bigger alloys and adaptive suspension less critical, although whatever pack has keyless would be nice. Im not bothered about the HUD as I prefer Waze to native BMW Nav which in my current motor wouldnt mesh with the on board tech. Having said that if adaptive is worth the price Id be happy to tick the box. The car is occasionally used around town but gets most use on a 2h cross country trip to see my dad and a 7h motorway round trip to see the in laws on a regular basis

MPG not an issue, although 50+ in luxo barge comfort seats in the current barge will be missed

Thanks in advance, all comments welcome

I picked up a second hand LCI model a few months ago, can't inform you of any issues so far but admittedly not owned for long. For sure the spec pick is a nightmare, seems like various different packs change at seemingly random points of time (I think the earlier cars also affected a lot by chip-shortages meaning certain options weren't available).

From my extensive looking in classifieds it seemed sports seats are rare, whilst the standard leather and 19" alloys are on basically everything. Sunroofs add value, I have one on mine and considering the black interior I really like it.

On the M adaptive, I think they all have the eco/comfort/sports setting but if you don't tick the box you don't get 'individual' mode meaning you can pick and choose your suspension/steering/throttle/gearbox settings. For me it's a must as I wouldn't use sport ever if it forced the stiff suspension and steering on me.
