New M340i xDrive 50 Jahre Edition
The M340i xDrive combines BMW's 3.0-litre straight-six with a rear-biased all-wheel-drive system and a chassis tuned for fast road performance.
It produces 374hp and 369lb ft of torque, allowing the saloon to reach 62mph in 4.4 seconds, rivaling an E90 M3 GTS in straight-line pace.
However, the M340i lacks visual presence, which may be a drawback for some.
A 100-unit special edition, the 50 Jahre Edition, has been released, but it's not for the general public.
Here, after all, is a car that combines BMW’s lusty 3.0-litre straight-six with its flagrantly rear-biased all-wheel-drive system and a chassis tuned with fast road performance front of mind.
