The 2016-2019 BMW 340i Gran Turismo (GT) is a unique hatchback variant of the 3 Series sedan, offering more cargo room and a longer wheelbase than the standard sedan or touring models. It is powered by a 3.0-liter inline-six cylinder engine, producing around 320-330 horsepower, and can reach 60 mph in about 4.7 seconds. Reviewers often praise its powerful engine, comfortable interior, and superb steering and braking, noting its fun-to-drive nature. Infamously, some users find the Gran Turismo's styling unattractive, comparing it to the Pontiac Aztek. Common maintenance concerns include oil and coolant leaks and carbon buildup. The 340i GT is best suited for those seeking a sporty, premium family car with ample interior space and performance.
Maintenance and repair costs for the 340i GT xDrive average around $368 annually, though individual repairs can be costly. Reliability concerns include potential fuel pump failure, exhaust valve rattle, and PCV valve issues. Average full coverage insurance is about $277 monthly.
