2020 BMW M340i And M340i xDrive Arrive In LA

Meet the most powerful non-M3 3 Series models ever.

BMW is debuting its most powerful non-M3 3 Series to date at this year’s LA Auto Show. The 2020 BMW M340i and M340i xDrive, rear- and all-wheel drive, respectively, are both powered by the same turbocharged, twin-scroll 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine with a total of 382 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. To put this output into some perspective, the highly regarded naturally aspirated V8-powered E90 M3 produced a total of 414 hp and 295 lb-ft. The outgoing F80 M3 has 453 hp and 443 lb-ft when equipped with the Competition Package. BMW claims the M340i can sprint to 60 mph in only 4.2 seconds. The F80 M3 does the same deed in 3.7 seconds.

Given these specs, imagine for a moment the next M3’s capabilities. In the US, the M340i will come only with one gearbox, an eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters and equipped with Launch Control. Despite AWD being optional, the M340i xDrive is still rear-wheel biased. Drifting will not be a problem, if so desired. Drivers can also select from Sport and Sport+ driving modes to enable additional power to be transferred to the rear wheels during, say, cornering.

Regardless of whether one opts for RWD or AWD, the M340i is equipped with an electronically-controlled M Sport rear differential that increases traction and improves overall stability. With its 50:50 weight distribution, the sedan’s body rigidity is increased by 25 percent, and even rises to 50 pertain in some areas. This was accomplished in part by increasing springs rates by 20 percent and reducing overall body weight by as much as 121 pounds thanks to the use of high-strength steel and aluminum.

The Adaptive M Suspension featuring electronically controlled dampers is optional while standard items now include M Sport Brakes and Variable Sport Steering. Compared to its immediate predecessor, the new 3 Series, in general, is slightly longer, wider and taller. Despite this, BMW claims the sedan’s overall athletic character is unaffected. Styling wise, we like what BMW has done, though we can see how some may say designers didn’t go far enough. Things like full-LED headlights are standard while Adaptive LED units with BMW Laserlight is optional.

But perhaps it’s the interior that deserves most of the attention. Without question, it’s a big improvement in overall styling, general ergonomics, and luxury. Everything looks and feels far more premium than with any past 3 Series.

BMW says official pricing will be announced closer to when the 2020 M340i and M340i xDrive goes on sale in the US next summer.

Presenting The 2020 BMW M340i And M340i xDrive: The Most Powerful Non-M3s Ever

How does 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds sound? We thought so.

Set for its North American debut later this month at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the all-new BMW 3 Series is the beginning of a new era for the German automaker’s long-benchmarked luxury sports sedan, now in its seventh generation. And when we say ‘new era’ we also mean the upcoming variants, specifically the next M3. But we’re still at least a year so away from the next M3’s debut.

Today, BMW has released full details for its all-new 2020 M340i and M340i xDrive. In short, they are the most powerful non-M3s of all time. The M340i is, of course rear-wheel-drive while its xDrive counterpart is all-wheel drive. Both are powered by a turbocharged, twin-scroll 3.0-liter six-cylinder with 382 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque.

Zero to 60 mph takes just 4.2 seconds. To compare, the current and soon to be outgoing M3, with the upgraded Competition Package, offers up 453 hp and 443 lb-ft, a 0-60 mph sprint in 3.7 seconds. The sole gearbox for North America, as we previously learned, will be an eight-speed automatic. This gearbox does have Launch Control which optimizes traction during acceleration off the line more effectively than before. Prefer doing things manually (because no six-speed manual will be offered)? Use the steering column-mounted shift paddles.

Although AWD is an option, the 340i xDrive remains rear-wheel bias. Selecting Sport and Sport+ driving modes enables additional power to be transferred to the rear wheels when required, such as cornering.

Both RWD and AWD sedans also feature an electronically-controlled M Sport rear differential that not only increases traction, but also improved stability in general. With a near 50:50 weight distribution, overall body rigidity is up by 25 percent, and rises up to 50 percent in certain areas. This further allows the standard M Sport Suspension to do its thing in the best ways possible.

For example, spring rates have been increased by 20 percent without any loss of ride comfort. Overall body weight is down by as much as 121 pounds thanks to increased use of high-strength steels and aluminum.

Buyers can also opt for the Adaptive M Suspension featuring electronically controlled dampers, delivering damping force to each wheel separately thru continuously variable valves. Variable Sport Steering, now standard, is more responsive than ever. M Sport Brakes are also standard fare with four-piston fixed calipers up front and single-piston floating calipers at the rear. Of course, familiar safety functions like dynamic stability control, traction control and ABS brakes are standard as well.

The latest 3 Series is slightly longer, wider, and taller than its predecessor, by 2.9-, 0.6-, and 0.5-inches, respectively, and a 1.6-inch longer wheelbase, but BMW promises the overall athletic character of the sedan is not affected. It’s only been improved. Full-LED headlights are standard and Adaptive LED headlights with BMW Laserlight are optional.

The interior, as we previously noted, is a nice improvement, featuring a completely redesigned instrument cluster and control display. The latest version of iDrive is standard. Official pricing has yet to be revealed for the 2020 BMW M340i and M340i xDrive, but sales are set to get underway next summer.
