I also went around a few laps in the BMW M340i, which motivated me to buy one.

1 Year Update:

ODO: 9,000 km

Purchase of Draggy:

I recently acquired a draggy and did a few runs in the track days conducted. The results were quite impressive. Attached below are the results:

This was stock car regular petrol.

Trip to Coorg:

Went for a trip to Coorg and back for a 4-day trip in December the car performed well. The only issue faced was handling speed breakers in the service roads of the Electronic City area to take the Mysore Exit.

Chennai-Mysore
Mysore-Coorg
Coorg-Chennai

FE: 10.5km/l on average.

KUN Track Day:

Enrolled myself for the KUN Track Day this month at MMRT.

I was the only AMG in the morning session joined by GLC43 AMG later on the day.

The session started at 10:00 am and spotted a lot of exotic cars like the Aventador SVJ, Huracan Sterrato, Porsche 911 Turbo, Urus and Cayman GT4.

Did close to 9-10 laps along with a lot of 340i.

My first time on track and the experience was exhilarating and motivated me to buy a Porsche or a BMW M car shortly.

Will look forward to more track days shortly.

Pics from the event:

1st Service Due:

The car had 2 more weeks until April 5th for 1st service, I was planning to take the 4-year 80k service package.

So went before 1 year and took the package. They had the car with them for 3 days in Sundaram Motors waiting for MB approval to activate the package and gave delivery on the 4th day.

The total amount for the package was: 2,68,922 (4y/80k)

1st Service: 68k (front brake pad changed worth around 22k)

Future Plans:

Looking to purchase a Downpipe and Intake upgrade with stage 2 by next month. In talks with a few performance players.
