Our take on this /// Verdict

The BMW M340i xDrive is a masterpiece that seamlessly blends the practicality of a 4-door saloon with the exhilarating performance of an M car. In India, this vehicle stands out for its unique blend of everyday usability and thrilling driving dynamics. The M340i xDrive delivers exceptional grip and handling, thanks to its all-wheel-drive system and M-tuned suspension, making it a joy to drive on both city roads and winding highways. The 3-litre inline-6 cylinder engine, though slightly detuned to 374hp in the latest LCI version, still packs a punch with its 500Nm of torque and a 0-100kph sprint in just 4.4 seconds. The interior is adorned with sporty touches like Alcantara and carbon fibre trims, enhancing the overall driving experience. While the ride can be firm, especially with the sport suspension, it is a minor trade-off for the immense driving pleasure it offers. Overall, the M340i xDrive is a compelling choice for those seeking a balance between performance and practicality.

Price

In India, the BMW M340i xDrive is priced competitively, especially considering its performance and features. The ex-showroom price for the M340i xDrive typically ranges around 63-65 lakh, depending on the region and any customizations. However, once you factor in the on-road costs, including taxes, registration, and insurance, the price can escalate to around 75-80 lakh. Despite this, the M340i xDrive remains a value-for-money proposition given its unique position as a locally assembled M Performance model, which avoids the hefty import duties associated with CBU units. This pricing strategy makes it an attractive option for enthusiasts who want a high-performance car without breaking the bank.

Mileage

Monday, 18 November 2024 08:32 AM The mileage of the BMW M340i xDrive in India is not its strongest suit, but it is reasonable given its performance credentials. With a powerful 3-litre turbo-petrol engine, the M340i xDrive is not designed for fuel efficiency.

However, these figures can vary significantly based on driving style and road conditions. For those who prioritize performance over fuel efficiency, the M340i xDrives mileage is a manageable compromise.
