Selling my beloved BMW M340i half-heartedly as I am now eligible to lease a new car to maximize income tax benefits. It is the latest facelifted LCI model of the M340i that is available in the market today. Retail price of this exact car today is over Rs. 95 lakhs, including extended warranty, insurance and full body PPF coating.

The car is almost 100% brand-new, as it has been meticulously cared for and has covered only 3600 km in total. I use my other car (Mahindra Thar) as my daily driver and hence the BMW has been sparingly used, for a couple of long highway trips. It has only ever been driven by myself - no driver has driven it ever. It has been kept under covered parlking - regularly washed and waxed once every week. The Dravit Grey color is shinign just as it was on Day 1 - thanks to the superior quality PPF.

The car has been absolutely fantastic in terms of reliability, not a single rattle or any other issue in the last one year.  The car has had comprehensive 10 year top-end PPF installed from OCD. I have also purchased the maximum available extended warranty of five years from BMW (Warrrantly valid till Feb 2028). Insurance has just been renewed with comprehensive end to end coverage.  See the full ownership review of my car at the following link.
