Bmw 340i m sport

Marc Urbano | Car and Driver Soft words like "peppy" no longer accurately describe the six-cylinder 3-series. It's frenetic now, even brutal. The rear-drive version (all-wheel drive is optional) hits 60 mph from a standstill in 3.8 seconds and its 30-to-50-mph passing time of 2.4 seconds is in league with vastly more powerful cars. It feels like by the time you're fully in the passing lane, it's already time to pull back to the right. And yet the B58 straight-six remains the pinnacle of smoothness, almost electric in its vibration-free power delivery. HIGHS: 382 reasons to smile, plus a great ride. Despite the unexpected drag-strip bent, the 2020 M340i is still very much a 3-series, as the species is commonly known. Longer than the outgoing car both overall and between the axles, and with wider tracks front and rear, it adeptly blends rough-road comfort with composure at the limit. With optional Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires measuring 225/40R-19 up front and 255/35R-19 in the rear, that lateral limit is 0.96 g.
