Pune: BMW, the German luxury car maker, on Thursday introduced the highly anticipated M340i xDrive priced at Rs 74.90 lakh at pan India showroom.
The locally manufactured BMW M340i gets new Vernasca leather seat covers with M stitching, and what BMW calls the ‘Widescreen Curved Display’ – which incorporates a 14.9-inch touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster – gets the latest 8.5 operating system.
In addition, the AC vents also see a slight tweak to their design and get new knobs to make adjustments.
The M340i is powered by a 3.0-litre, six-cylinder petrol engine that churns out 374 bhp, and sprints from 0-100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds.
The eight-speed automatic transmission, with paddle shifters and cruise control, complements the car’s high-performance nature.
The xDrive all-wheel-drive system and M Sport differential enhance cornering and grip, making it a joy to drive in various conditions.
“For over three years, the BMW M340i has stood tall as the highest-selling performance car in the Indian market. This car is a segment best seller due to its unique M driving experience, commanding performance, attractive design and a rich feature list,” said Vikram Pawah, President and CEO, BMW Group India.
Its aggressive styling, best-in-class driving dynamics and the fan favourite B58 6-cylinder engine have made it an instant hit in the Indian market, he noted.
