  1. Most Powerful 3 Series: This is the fastest and most powerful 3 Series that money can buy. It gets a 3.0-litre, six-cylinder engine under the hood that makes 387 bhp and a solid 500 Nm of peak torque. The powertrain provides the M340i with so much grunt that it does 0-100 kmph in just 4.4 seconds, making it seriously fast for its segment.
  2. All-Wheel-Drive: Yes! The eight-speed automatic transmission in the BMW M340i sends power to all four wheels. And yes! It also gets paddle shifters.

    The ride quality is stiff but complements the performance well. M340i also standard 3 . sits less than 10 mm

  3. MSport Features: The BMW M340i also gets a new lift-related damper control and gets an M Sport differential which is electronically controlled. The Adaptive M suspension with electronically controlled dampers offers a good blend of ride and handling.

    The cabin of the BMW M340i could have given a sportier treatment.

  4. Feature Loaded Cabin: The new BMW M340i gets all the bells and whistles seen in the cabin of the standard 3 Series sedan and then some. From the sunroof to the 12.3-inch instrument panel—and even a large 10.25-inch touchscreen with connectivity technology—all are standard.
  5. Looks Sharp and Sporty: The new kidney grille with chrome bezels, sharp and sleek headlights, and muscular bumper, all add to its sporty and aggressive demeanor. In India the car runs on 18-inch wheels which are standard while upgradeable to 19-inch units which are optional.

Shortcoming

  1. Expensive Offer: At an ex-showroom price of 62.90 lakhs, the BMW M340i will not be easy on your pocket. Actually, the ex-showroom price of BMW 5 Series starts at ₹ 56.00 Lakh.
  2. Ground Clearance: Low ground clearance has always been a concern for drivers in India and we often get scared of scratching the belly of our cars. Compared to the regular 3 Series, the M340i sits about 10mm lower.

    The BMW M340i will be locally assembled in India.

  3. The cabin looks similar to the 3 Series: on the inside, the BMW M340i doesn’t feel very special and looks like the standard 3 Series, except for the Alcantara upholstery. Attributes such as the flat bottom steering wheel with red inserts and dual-red stitching, aided bolstering or side support in the seats would have added to its sporty character.
