BMW M340i First Drive | The perfect afternoon

A clear sunny day, keys to the latest 3 Series, and a long and winding road leading up to a great view. The perfect recipe to explore the capabilities of the new M340i?
The BMW M340i is an M Performance 3 Series. Its 387PS and 500Nm engine, coupled with sub-5-second sprint time, promises sports-car performance. But for all that oomph under the hood, it stands out just as much as a glass marble on a gravel driveway. It also wears an xDrive badge on the boot, so it seems no fabled BMW rear-wheel-drive dynamics are on the cards.

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.
