For generations, the BMW 3-Series sedan has been the go-to vehicle for drivers who want style, performance, and innovative technology. The iconic 3-Series continues to lead the way, and the 2021 BMW M340i xDrive exceeds expectations. BMW outfits the top trim with athletic styling, a turbocharged mild-hybrid inline-six engine, and a plethora of M performance features. The automaker also includes large displays with the BMW iDrive system, a suite of driver-assistance features, and loads of convenience and comfort technology. In the last decade, BMW’s customer base has chosen SUVs over sedans, but the 2021 3-Series, especially the 2021 BMW 3 Series M340i xDrive, is a top seller. You’ll find the 2021 BMW M340i xDrive at Exotic Car Trader, where we specialize in helping drivers find their favorite BMW cars for sale.
The 2021 BMW M340i xDrive specs begin with an intercooled turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine paired with a 48-volt electric motor. The hybrid system produces 382 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. In previous generations, BMW offered an optional manual transmission, but this option no longer exists. Other than the 2021 BMW M3, the 2021 3 Series models have an eight-speed automatic transmission. BMW outfits the M340i with the xDrive all-wheel-drive system. The 2021 M340i xDrive gets an EPA-estimated fuel rating of 22 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway. The M340i xDrive has several unique M Sport features like an M Sport differential, M Sport brakes, an M Sport steering wheel, and M Sport suspension with variable sport steering. The M Sport tech and hybrid powertrain handle the 3,968 pounds of car with athletic agility. BMW also includes Adaptive, Eco Pro, and Sport Plus driving modes that adjust the dampers, fuel consumption, and torque for personalized driving experiences. The 2021 BMW M340i xDrive 0-60 time is an impressive 4.4 seconds, and the top speed is 155 MPH. When pressing the accelerator, you’ll quickly feel the 2021 BMW M340i xDrive horsepower, especially with the immediate response of the turbocharger and the electric motor. The M340i xDrive is a joy to drive, but if you want more horsepower and speed, the 2021 BMW M3 has a twin-turbocharged engine with 473 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque, while the 2021 M3 Competition has 503 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. Of course, the M3 and M3 Competition also come with a premium price tag near $25,000 higher than the 2021 M340i.
Everything in the 2021 BMW 340i xDrive interior is first class. The sedan seats five, with sports bucket seats in the front and a roomy bench in the rear. While it comes standard with synthetic leather upholstery, Exotic Car Trader often finds models with optional genuine Merino leather seats. The front seats have power adjustability and plenty of support thanks to well-placed bolsters. Drivers appreciate the 17 cubic feet of cargo space, and the rear seats fold for even more room. Optional features include heated front and rear seats, ambient interior lighting, and a heated steering wheel. The automaker offered three BMW Individual interior color pairings. You could find a pre-owned model with Fiona Red/Black Merino Leather, Fjord Blue/Black Extended Merino Leather, or Black Extended Merino Leather. Models with standard synthetic upholstery have a black dash and seats with matte nickel accents.
The sleek styling features an appropriately sized signature kidney grill finished with dark chrome. The sharp, angular LED headlights have Laserlight technology. The muscular lines of the body showcase the aerodynamics of the 2021 M340i xDrive and the upgraded 2021 BMW M340i xDrive M Performance Edition. The low-slung roof and wide stance are classic yet modern. The M340i has body-colored mirrors, an M badge near the front wheel, and sculptural lines throughout the door panels. At the back end, the 2021 M340i has LED taillights with smoky glass, a sporty trunk spoiler, and trapezoidal dual exhaust outlets finished in the same dark chrome surrounding the front kidney grille.
Safety is a top priority at BMW, and the 2021 BMW M340i xDrive comes with several standard driver-assistance features. The standard suite includes forward collision warning, rain-sensing windshield wipers, forward automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, adaptive headlights with automatic high beams, and a rearview camera. Optional safety features include stop-and-go adaptive cruise control with lane-keep assist, blind spot monitoring, front and rear parking sensors, a surround-view camera system, automatic park assist, a head-up display, and rear cross-traffic assist. Standard in-cabin tech includes a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch touchscreen with the iDrive platform. You’ll get Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, wireless charging, Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth connectivity, and a premium sound system.
In 2021, the MSRP for a BMW M340i xDrive was $56,700. Optional features increased the price by a few thousand dollars. Today, you can get your hands on a pre-owned model for prices between $55,000 and $40,000.
