The 2024 BMW M340i xDrive features subdued styling but delivers unrestrained drive dynamics when called upon.
may take up a lot of market share these days, but how this sedan competes in the automotive landscape is still a solid way to read the Bavarian brand’s pulse. The 3 Series also happens to be BMW’s longest running badge, and after 49 or so years, the latest model, the 2024 BMW M340i xDrive, does its predecessors proud.This sleek, muscular brute is quintessential German stealth, and part of a segment that’s always been categorically cool.
Up against the 450+ hp found in the M2, M3, and M4, the output may not sound all that enticing, but between its whip-crack shifts and fast-revving turbo engine, the M340i is a riot to rev out pretty much everywhere, particularly when set to Sport mode and when there’s ample runway ahead. While the B58’s power band is generally linear for a forced induction engine, it still shovels a healthy helping of torque in the midrange once peak boost makes its way to the intake valves.
BMW says this current 3 Series is 25 percent stiffer than the previous, and it certainly tracks as chassis communication is quite good for the M340i’s portlier stature. You get a good idea of what’s going on at all four of its corners, and it lends itself to good overall handling. Body control is very good on canyon roads, however, whether traction control is on or off, understeer rears its ugly head while accelerating through long off-camber sweepers.
