I love everything about this car. It’s comfortable, quick and handles beautifully. This is our 5th BMW since 2011 and I plan to keep this one for my daughter’s first car in 4 years. Our 2011 got totaled and everyone inside was safe and physically unharmed, that is why we are so brand loyal. This model is my favorite, it’s very fun to drive.

Great engineered car

I special ordered my 2021 M340i xDrive from the Munich plant and received it mid-July. Just finished the 1200 mile break-in and am now thoroughly enjoying its considerable performance. The engine is the best I have owned in 45 years of driving. It is strong, smooth and very fuel efficient. It gets around 34 mpg in real world highway driving and over 28 mpg around town! Acceleration is effortless. I ordered it with the standard M suspension and it has a very good ride/handling balance. The car is very comfortable and quiet when you want it to be. If you want a louder exhaust note the pressing of the sport button will take care of it for you. Love the technology and looks of the car. I also owned a 2019 BMW 330i xDrive, but I prefer the M340 because of its 6 cylinder engine. Can’t go wrong with this car!

Fast, agile, and a joy to drive

The M340ix is a joy to drive and is also very easy to live with day to day. The seats are comfortable, the heads up display is fabulous, and the car is a joy to drive. You point it where you want to go and it just goes. 0-60 in 3.8 seconds...this car has torque and horsepower for days. Put it in sport and enjoy carving up mountain roads or flooring it on the straights.

Super handling. Very roomy for a small car. A little harsh riding. Front seats could us more softening. Update: Gas mileage averaging 30 mpg, mixed city/highway.
