2026 BMW M340i xDrive Sports Automatic

2026 BMW 3 Series M340i xDrive.

This 2026 BMW M340i xDrive is a low-kilometre demonstrator that combines the compact proportions and everyday usability of the 3 Series sedan with a performance-focused specification. Finished in Black Sapphire with a black interior, it has travelled 1,511 km and is powered by a 3.0-litre turbocharged six-cylinder petrol engine paired with an eight-speed Sports Automatic transmission and four-wheel drive.

The M340i xDrive is configured for drivers who want strong performance without giving up the practicality of a conventional sedan. Its 285 kW and 500 Nm provide substantial engine output, while the all-wheel-drive system is intended to provide assured traction across changing road conditions. The adaptive M suspension, variable sport steering and M Sport differential add hardware designed to support a more controlled and engaging drive, while the selectable drive modes allow the vehicle's responses to be adjusted to suit different journeys.

Exterior details include the M Aerodynamics package, M rear spoiler, M High-Gloss Shadow Line detailing and 19-inch M light-alloy double-spoke wheels finished in bi-colour Jet Black. Adaptive LED headlights and High-Beam Assistant contribute to visibility after dark, while the electric sunroof brings additional light into the cabin. The M Sport Package Pro adds M Sport brakes with red high-gloss detailing, M Lights Shadow Line, M seat belts and extended Shadow Line exterior content.

Inside, the cabin is equipped for both driver involvement and long-distance comfort. M Sport seats with electric adjustment and memory, heating for the front seats, driver and passenger lumbar support, a heated steering wheel and automatic climate control make it easier to establish a comfortable driving position. The interior also includes Ash Grey Blue open-pored fine-wood trim, CraftedClarity interior elements, an anthracite M headliner and a luxury instrument panel.

Technology is a major part of the specification. BMW Live Cockpit Professional, a head-up display, DAB+ radio, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, personal eSIM capability and connected services provide a broad range of navigation, communication and entertainment functions. The Harman Kardon Surround Sound System adds a higher-grade audio experience, while wireless device charging and Comfort Access reduce everyday cabin clutter and effort. The vehicle also features automatic tailgate operation, a through-loading system and a storage compartment package.

Parking Assistant Plus, fully automatic parking assistance and the surrounding camera-related functions are useful additions in urban settings. Driving Assistant Professional, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, lane-departure warning, road-sign recognition, Active Guard Plus and brake assist provide additional driver support. An integrated dash cam, tyre-pressure monitoring, Active Protection, active pedestrian protection and an anti-theft security system add further safety equipment.
