The Most Powerful BMW Series 3 Ever, Waiting For The Next M3

While the wait for the next M3 is still long – at least a year – BMW knows how to quench our thirst for performance and presents the most powerful versions in the history of the 3 Series, now at its seventh generation. Both the M340i and the M340i xDrive will be powered by the same twin-scroll 6-cylinder 3-liter grounding 382 horses, with the substantial difference that the first one features only rear-wheel drive and the xDrive gets all-wheel drive. Obviously.

Capable of delivering something like 500Nm of torque and accelerating from 0 to 100 kph in just 4.2 seconds, the behavior of the M340i xDrive will however be more similar to that of a rear-wheel drive, especially when you select the Sport or Sport + mode, able to further emphasize the high driving pleasure that has always distinguished every BMW.

They also have both an M Sport electronic-controlled limited slip differential, an optimal weight balance, powerful M Sport brakes and M adaptive suspensions, this one on request.
