The exterior design of the new BMW M340i xDrive remains sporty as ever. The front end cuts a wide, low-slung and aggressive figure. Framed by a single surround, the black mesh style BMW kidney grille is linked to sleek Adaptive LED headlights with blue accents. The headlights are complimented by the M Lights Shadowline line which adds a sporty black tint making for an imposing front fascia. The car’s hood, long wheelbase, short overhangs and elegantly flowing roofline accentuate its sporting profile when viewed from the side. Exterior mirror caps with their unique M Design in high-gloss black add an eye-catching sporty look. Horizontal lines and the slim, stylishly darkened light units housing L-shaped LED taillights give the rear a wide, athletic stance. Complementing the M aerodynamics package, the car features a body-coloured M rear spoiler on the boot lid. The vehicle’s athletic touch is also enhanced by air intake struts and trapezoidal tailpipe trims. The 19-inch Jet Black Alloy Wheels in 995M styling with Red M Sport Brakes Calipers add hugely to the car’s road presence.

The interior accentuates luxury, comfort and the revered feeling of M. The first element to catch attention is the new digital BMW Curved Displaywhich is harmoniously unified into the cockpit area so it almost looks like it is floating. Clear reduced design, eye-catching graphics, modern bright colours, futuristic textures and the interplay of reflections create an immersive visual appearance. Sport seats with Leather Varnasca upholstery in Black with M Highlights provide excellent lateral support and have a great range of adjustment. The sporty ambience of the interior is also underlined by the newly designed steering wheel with a red centre marker at the 12 o’clock position.  This, along with shift paddles, delivers a race car like seating experience. The performance-oriented ambience is boosted thanks to M High Gloss Shadowline, Individual Headliner Anthracite and interior trim strips in Carbon Fibre. Also, as exclusive design features, the digital instrument cluster and front door sills bear the model lettering ‘M340i’. The newly designed air vents are more modern in design. Welcome Light Carpet, projected from the side sill, welcomes passengers in glamorous style. Ambient Lighting with six dimmable light designs creates an atmosphere for every mood while Automatic 3 zone A/C maintains the perfect temperature. Adding to the sense of space is the large glass sunroof. The big luggage compartment has a capacity of 480 litres. The 40:20:40 split backrest and automatic boot lid operation provide greater flexibility for loading / unloading. The car’s Harman Kardon Surround Sound system with 16 loudspeakers is an aural treat.

Customers can add sporting character to every detail with optional M Performance Accessories. Carbon Fiber elements such as rear spoiler, ornamental kidney grille and other elements add to menacing stance as well as aid reduce weight. Other M Performance elements such as M Door Pins, Alcantara Armrest and 50 Jahre M Emblem add to the exclusivity of the M340i. Customers can enquire with their local dealerships for availability of M Performance Accessories.

The new BMW M340i xDrive is powered by 2,998 cc straight-six petrol engine which produces an output of 374 hp and 500 Nm maximum torque. It is accompanied by a characteristic sound thanks to the M Sport exhaust unit. The car completes the sprint from 0 to 100 km/hr in 4.4 seconds, making it the quickest BMW to be produced in the country and the quickest ICE powered car to be built in India.

The standard M Sport rear differential enhances traction and cornering by electronically controlling the distribution of power to each individual wheel. It helps to avoid understeer and oversteer in situations involving multiple changes of direction and load. With kinematics and elastokinematics tuned for dynamic driving, the M Sport suspension can lower the ride height by 10 mm to offer a more engaging driving experience. The Variable Sport Steering is precise and responsive even when only a slight steering input is applied. M Sport brakes provide excellent braking performance and intuitive feel, whether negotiating city streets or driving around a circuit on a track day. The brake calipers are painted blue and display the M logo. The BMW Performance Control System increases the stability of the car by targeted braking of the wheels.

Host of ConnectedDrive features include Digital Key Plus, Emergency Call, Real-time Traffic Information and Remote Services through MyBMW app. BMW Live Cockpit Professional includes the freestanding 14.9” BMW Curved Display with Navigation, a 12.3-inch digital information display behind the steering wheel and BMW Head-up Display.

The latest BMW iDrive with Operating System 8.5, offers all the possibilities for interaction between occupants and the vehicle – using touch, gesture or speech. It is complemented by the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant system which has a self-learning intelligence that adopts a driver’s individual habits, proactively provides useful tips on new driving functions and seamlessly integrates smartphone apps. Wireless smartphone integration and regular Remote Software Upgrades ensure that the car is always up to date.

My BMW App keeps an eye on vehicle status and includes ‘Learning Navigation’ which offers destination suggestions and traffic information based on driving habits. BMW Digital Key Plus turns a smartphone into a vehicle key enabling remote locking / unlocking and starting the car.

The spread of driver assistance systems is more extensive than ever. Parking Assistant with Rear View Camera makes parking in tight spots easier. The Reversing Assistant provides unmatched support in reversing out of a parking spot or through narrow driveways. It keeps a record of the last 50 metres driven and assists by taking over the steering.

  2. Thanks for enabling me to gain new ideas about personal computers. I also possess the belief that certain of the best ways to keep your laptop in perfect condition is by using a hard plastic-type case, and also shell, that will fit over the top of your computer. Most of these protective gear are generally model targeted since they are manufactured to fit perfectly on the natural casing. You can buy these directly from the vendor, or from third party places if they are readily available for your notebook computer, however its not all laptop can have a spend on the market. Once more, thanks for your recommendations.
