Nothing quite like the legendary B58. The M340i will make a very appealing preworshipped car. Most would want to save money and get themselves a regular 3.

Bang for your buck. They make it sound like a budget car.

Bang for your buck emphasises on how good a product is for the money you are paying. It has nothing to do with the budget. And in the case of the M340i, it definitely is a bang for your buck. No car under 70 lakhs provides the same level of performance as the M340i.

I find it interesting that you’ll barely mention any negatives of the car. Do you truly believe the infotainment is intuitive to use, with everything now shoved into menus and sub-menus in lieu of buttons that could be hard-coded to your preferred functions? Do you truly believe it sounds “insane” when sound is pumped into the cabin via speakers? The stock exhaust on this LCI is more muted than a church-goer on Sunday. If this is insane, the earliest versions of the car (circa 2020) surely count as orgasmic. I’m also not certain that the ground clearance number quoted is correct. I’ve taken it for long drives over horrible roads in Bombay, and it’s not scraped once anywhere over mountainous speed breakers, with 3-4 people aboard. That was a pleasant surprise. I’m all for effusive praise where praise is due, but please don’t suspend objectivity in the face of enthusiasm. Bring both sides of the coin to the fore.

@@thurules BMW hasn’t shared an official number, but I’m dead certain it’s more than 125. I took it over ginormous speed breakers on Kurla’s LBS road, near Phoenix Market City (if you’re familiar with Bombay). My 328i (lowered to about 140-145 mm) scrapes on some of them. The 340i didn’t , even with passengers on board. I still don’t know how. So yeah, I’d say it’s closer to 140-ish mm. And only the very worst speed breakers will catch out the 340i

@@thurules I’m sorry man, I haven’t sat in the rear. Only driven her. So don’t have an understanding of how it is in the rear seat. But from the driver’s seat, I didn’t find it too firm at all. The compliance is good, ride quality was more than acceptable IMO, especially given it rides on 19s. It is 100% good enough to be a daily driver. It’s not like you have to tolerate the suspension as a trade-off for that engine. It’s fine, it’s comfortable enough in my books. That said, you absolutely have to slow down for bad patches of roads or potholes. Those low profile tyres won’t take hitting one of them at speed very well.
