M340i xDrive sedan and X3 M40i xDrive SUV likely to be launched in India
BMW to increase localisation of its M Performance range
India launch of full-blooded M4 also confirmed
BMW to bring more M Performance models to India For the uninitiated, M Performance (or M-lite) vehicles sit a rung below the full-blown M models in BMW’s sporty line-up. “We’ve got two sets in our performance range. We call one as the ‘full performance range’, and the other as the ‘performance-lite range’,” said Pawah. He added, “The M Performance brand, or the ‘M-lite brand’, is within our regular range of products. We introduce the M versions within that of, let’s say, the X3 or 3 Series. You will see us doing more of that, sooner or later.” As such, the M340i sedan and X3 M40i SUV can be expected for an India launch in the coming future.
