The BMW M340i has a very Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde dual personality. It's an angel when you need it to be, and an absolute monster when you floor the pedal.

BMW M340i Pros:
- Ferocious 6-cylinder turbo-petrol motor with 382 BHP on tap! Lives for 7,000 rpm
- All-wheel-drive gives the BMW M340i leech-like grip & solid stability levels
- Sporty, well-tuned exhaust note is addictive at high revs
- The ZF 8-speed AT is the best gearbox in the segment. Fast & smooth
- 0 – 100 in 4.4 seconds with 4-door everyday practicality. Go touring with the family!
- Lovely cabin, premium build, very supportive seats & a fab driving position
- BMW’s strong track record for reliability (among the luxury marques)
- 5-star NCAP rating, awesome brakes & a laundry list of safety equipment
BMW M340i Cons:
- Ride is much firmer than a regular 3-Series. [I]Liveable[/I], but you feel everything on the road
- Sad boot space with a spare wheel
- We don’t like the radiator grille, same rim design (as the 330i) and gunmetal-coloured ORVMs
- Rear floor hump is enormous! Car is better as a 4-seater than 5
- Your fuel costs will be a lot higher than say, a 530d
- Runflat tyres come with many compromises, wear out soon & are expensive to replace
- We hate the all-digital instrument console. Also, the rev counter is weirdly inverted
- Some irritants such as the lack of keyless entry (!!!), w-i-d-e 6 meter turning radius & annoying speed warnings
