Daily News | 2023 BMW M340i xDrive nails sport sedan delight
Vroom. A 3 Series with the M designation is guaranteed to plant you in your seat. The 3-liter, twin-power V-6 turbo creates 382 horsepower, and arrives at 60 mph in 3.7 seconds, according to Car and Driver, far faster than this series’ competitors.Bye bye, BMW’s awesome joystick shifter. The 3 Series gets the little Reverse-Drive toggle switch for its 8-speed Sport transmission that I first experienced in the X1.
I put lots of miles on the M340i, a trip to Philadelphia here, another trip to North Jersey there. Always a treat.Well, that’s sure one big dashboard display. Picture an iPad stretched across two-thirds of the dashboard, encompassing the speedometer and the related gaugeaphernalia, plus the infotainment center. Eye-catching, very techy — and I bet it costs thousands of dollars to replace if it breaks. If you can find one not held up by the chip shortage.
I turned that dial just a few hash marks and was rewarded with some of the clearest sound I’ve enjoyed in a long while. A+. Control of the system is nice as well. The traditional BMW console dial remains — I thought for sure it would be eliminated along with the shift lever — and the touchscreen works competently as well.Almost all the functions happen in the touchscreen, save for defroster buttons. We’re going full Tesla here. Sad.
