Specs and Features of the 2023 BMW 340i

Jul 28, 2023

Sporting the famous M badge designated for its acclaimed motorsport series, the 2023 BMW 340i cuts a dashing presence on the roads. With the BMW mark signifying the best in German engineering and the car a mixture of speed, technology, and luxury, a 340i should be the first vehicle you look for on a visit to a BMW dealer.

Performance Specifications

The Engine provides much of the magic of the 340i. A 3.0L, 6-cylinder Twin Power turbo unit sits at the heart of the powertrain. It can deliver up to a massive 383 hp and provide 369 lb-ft of torque. The engine is coupled with an 8-speed automatic transmission that includes both Manual and Sports settings. The result is an acceleration speed of 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds for the M340i and 4.1 seconds for the M340i xDrive model.

The difference in the speed of acceleration between the two models is down to the xDrive system. xDrive is a traction control system that constantly monitors and moderates the power being delivered to each axle and wheel. The result is better road holding when required, as well as improved cornering at speed.

Interior Features

Inside the 340i, you will discover the luxurious SensaTec upholstered seats. This is a unique animal-free leather that performs better than genuine leather in terms of being able to be maintained while still retaining the luxurious feel.

Although sleek in design, the interior remains spacious, with 42 inches of legroom provided in the front while the back allows 35.2 inches in the rear. In addition, there are 38.7 inches of headroom as well as between 56 and 54.2 inches of shoulder room, ensuring you never feel too cramped.

Technology Features

As you would expect from BMW, the 340i is brim-full of technology. The cockpit certainly doesn’t disappoint with an amazing 12.3-inch instrument screen that you can alter and personalize to suit your preferences.

Sitting adjacent to this is an even more impressive 14.9-inch central information display. The panel is controlled by BMW’s iDrive 8 system that accesses navigation and entertainment features and pairs with your smartphone. It can be operated via touch or voice control, making it easy to use if driving. There are also Bluetooth and USB type-c port connections, and the panel has the ability to receive over-the-air upgrades for apps.

Safety Features

The 340i has some of the most advanced safety and security features and technology fitted. Mechanical features include an extensive airbag system, an anti-lock braking system, and a Front and Head protection system, to name but three.

BMW also includes its advanced Active Guard suite of technology and monitoring systems. The system has features such as Front-Collision Warning and Automatic City Collision Mitigation and Braking. There is also a rearview camera and impact sensors to disconnect the battery and fuel in the event of an accident.

The above specifications and features are just a small sample of what the 340i has to offer. To get a more complete picture of how good this car is, you really need to go and see it. Visit us at Valley Auto World BMW today and book a test drive in the latest 2023 340i.
