The 2024 BMW M340i, a performance sedan with significant upgrades, was introduced in India. The German automaker has started taking reservations for the new M340i, which has an ex-showroom price of ₹74.90 lakh. After making its debut in India in 2021, the BMW M340i got a makeover the following year. With revised suspension, new wheels, and a redesigned interior design, the performance-focused version of the standard 3 Series is here.

Two new paint options are available for the 2024 BMW M340i: Fire Red and Arctic Race Blue. Black kidney grille and M-specific ORVM housings are features of the external design. Blue-highlighted adaptive LED headlights and wraparound LED taillights are installed on the sedan. Cornering lights and variable light control are two examples of these features. With the modification, the sedan now has M Sport brakes and new 19-inch M-spec alloy wheels.

The cabin has M-spec features including blue contrast stitching and upholstery in Alcantara/Sensatec. The carbon fiber trim on the center console extends to the dashboard. The M340i is additionally outfitted with BMW’s Live Cockpit Professional, which consists of a 12.3-inch digital cluster and a curved 14.9-inch infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

By placing a compatible smartphone near to the door handle, the driver can unlock the 2024 M340i thanks to the BMW Digital Key.

In addition, the cabin tech package has a head-up display for the driver, a 16-speaker Harman Kardon surround sound system, and three-zone climate control. BMW provides cornering braking control, TPMS, airbags, and a 360-degree surround view camera for safety.
