Very nice - is that the one from Sytner Oldbury by any chance? I’ve been watching very carefully since starting this thread and there aren’t that many about.
Very nearly bought a really nice mineral grey with red leather, but it sold while I was waiting for a p/x from the dealer!
The search goes on, but I’m sure I’ll give up soon a compromise a bit on colour / spec!

I have a mineral grey with red leather and its a fantastic colour combo... Saw the mineral / red leather come up at the North wales dealership and it was loaded to the hilt with extras and a cracking price for a low mileage one, I just knew it would sell instantly, If you want a bargain you need to watch the BMW AUC like a hawk as the desirable ones sell very very quickly, Trust me it will be worth the patience as they are a fantastic car bloody love mine.
Yes that was the one - they were inundated with calls for that one apparently hence it went in a few hours.The decent spec are definitely going very quickly on AUC so just waking to go for it as soon as the right one comes up.
And on that point - are there any must have options? Pro nav, HK, reversing camera are top of my list, but is there anything else you wouldn’t be without / wish you had?

MIne has the M sport plus pack which is similar to the earlier version of the Shadow edition, which includes Hardon Karmon (must have) Privacy glass (must have) upgraded brake calipers (looks miles better than without) Mine also has heated seats (useful but not a deal breaker imo),( Comfort access ( good but would rather it didnt tbh as they are easier to nick with it), Adaptive suspension ( defo worth getting if you can) google it for a full description)
Mine doesn't have the Pro sat nave (wider screen than the business) would have loved that ideally, Pano roof also don't have but would love it.
There is definately a big demand for the 340 Tourers at present as people seem to realise what a bargain they are, About 5-6 weeks ago a really well specced red touring with literally every extra on it with 19k miles for £21.5k on the AUC and it sold within 2 hours as my mate was after it, fast forward 2 weeks and it appeared on another car dealership (non AUC) for £26K and it sold pretty quickly, So you are also competing against trade for the real bargains, good luck with your search, And if you get a car pre June 18 definately get the MPPSK fitted.
Useful stuff - thanks. Is the privacy glass the same as the sun protection? I’ve seen sun protection specced on the vast majority, but not the privacy glass. Pano roof would be nice but probably not a deal breaker for me (I’ve got to compromise on something!). I specced it on my last car, but after the novelty had worn off, it was very rarely opened.Mine doesn't have the Pro sat nave (wider screen than the business) would have loved that ideally, Pano roof also don't have but would love it.

I remember seeing the red one on BMW site - was somewhere near Heathrow I think? Looked fantastic with the black trim. Saw the 26k one with the other seller - didn’t occur that it was the same one. Maybe means the grey / red from last week may pop up soon, but there’s something odd going on with pricing if independents are sourcing stock from AUC!
