NEW DELHI: BMW India turns the leaf, embarks on a journey to make its performance brand accessible in India. The M340i xDrive is here and I can’t pen down my emotions to welcome it.
The sedan will be locally assembled in the company’s plant in Tamil Nadu which would help in putting a competitive price tag of around Rs 65 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The latest generation of 3 Series, which made its debut back in 2019, was perfectly alright when judged on sportiness and performance, but now, expect the temperature to rise with the onset of the M Performance version.
