No, BMW have not introduced these features in any cars in India, a far as I know.

It does have some very useful driver assistance features like auto low speed emergency braking (pedestrian collision prevention), reversing assistant to retrace the path taken in the last 50 meters etc.

Given the erratic traffic and nature of driving in India, I am not sure adaptive cruise control will be very useful. There are too many stories about the XUV700s that braked too hard due to adaptive cruise control and got rear ended.

Re: BMW M340i xDrive Review

I had visited the BMW showroom in Goa yesterday. They have a black M340i in stock. However there is a Shadow edition that is going to be launched. It come with 360 Deg Camera, Upgraded brakes, smoked headlamps and some other stuff. Costs 2.3 Lakhs more than the regular one.

Thanks for the heads up on the new features expected in the M340i soon. Any possibility of retro fitting of 360 deg camera in current model of M340i (pre LCI)?
Also pls elaborate on upgraded brakes. Are they going to offer M Performance Brakes as standard?

Cheers,

No clue about this.

From what I understand, these brakes are currently a 4L option on the standard vehicle.

2.3L for the 4 additional features is a steal.

Re: BMW M340i xDrive Review

Dear BHPians -

I am planning to bring home the BMW M340i, Shadow Edition.

From all the reviews, I see that the harsh ride quality due to RFT 19 inchers has made many owners swap to Tubeless tyres right after delivery.

My Dealer is saying that by doing so, BMW could void the warranty. Can’t believe it to be true. Wanted to understand the owners’ take on this.

Also, to those who have swapped to Tubeless - appreciate any details on the costs - buyback and for the new tubeless. This would help me plan for.

Many Thanks.
