The 2019-2025 BMW M340i Sedan is the mid-performance version of BMW's compact luxury sedan, featuring a potent 3.0L M TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder engine producing up to 386 hp. Enthusiasts and reviewers praise the M340i for its remarkable blend of daily comfort and significant performance, often calling it the "ultimate daily driver" or a perfect one-car solution. It is famous for bridging the gap between the standard 3 Series and the full M3, offering engaging handling on its stiff G20 chassis. Well-suited for drivers seeking a luxurious yet athletic rear-wheel or xDrive sedan, it serves excellently as a practical family car, a comfortable commuter, and an engaging weekend canyon carver.
Operating costs for the BMW M340i include annual maintenance starting around $591 and increasing over time. Reliability concerns include potential valve cover leaks and VANOS issues around 60,000 miles. Insurance premiums vary by driver and credit history.
