About BMW 340i
When 3-series launched in 2019, the early dalliances with it suggested that this relationship could be rekindled. BMW paid attention to the chassis. The test of the 2012 BMW 328i showed a strong performance with impressive refinement. To capture the spirit of BMW's glory days, you have to shell out for the more expensive models. The M340i debuted with a 382-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six under the hood.
When the road weaves, the M340i makes you feel at home. The BMW maximizes the available traction by varying the lockup force in the standard. More dramatic improvements have been made with the second attempt at electric power steering in a 3-series. But there is still more information delivered through the seat of the pants than the steering wheel. The M340i also has a softer side. Aided by a longer wheelbase than the previous car, it maintained its composure. The miles on the open road certainly factored into a stellar 27-mpg average. The inline-six is a ripper when you ask for it and a marvel of efficiency when you don't.

The M340i's service regimen has been straightforward, with oil changes occurring every 10,000 miles per the car's oil-life monitor. Right before 30,000-mile service–the last of BMW's three-year complimentary scheduled maintenance–the onboard computer alerted that, once again, the inline-six was a quart low on oil. And it remains a rocket of a sedan. It is capable of gobbling up long stretches of highway. It also has a magnificent powertrain: a potent 382-hp turbocharged inline-six mated to an expertly calibrated eight-speed automatic.
The M340i's proportions retain BMW sedan classicism: long hood, swooping beltline, Hofmeister kink, taut haunches. As this 3-Series has grown in wheelbase, length, width, and height, the design looks compact and resolved. It is a pleasant thing to behold, especially in Portimao Blue Metallic. The M340i played the perfect travel companion. Its trunk is a cavern, swallowing whole duffel and backpack, Mack's suitcase and bag, and nearly all of Dave's camera gear. Likewise, the M340i's interior holds up to road-trip demands. The OEM parts and accessories for it, including brake parts, suspension parts, exhaust parts, and engine parts are available online.
