Since BMW started slapping “///M” badges on the back of normal BMWs and calling them “M Performance” cars, they’ve always been interesting alternatives to actual M Division products. Though, personally, I’ve never found them worth getting over their proper M counterparts because they typically don’t feel as special or as exciting and aren’t usually much cheaper.
However, the BMW M340i could be the first M Performance model to actually make me second guess its real M Division alternative.
....
Yet, after taking the BMW M340i on track for a few laps, I was really wondering to myself if I’d ever really need more of anything; performance, excitement or agility.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure the new G80 BMW M3 is going to be incredible and is going to lunch the M340i in every possible performance metric. And maybe after driving it, the new M3 will be so good that it changes my mind.
But while driving the M340i, and maybe this is just me getting old, I wasn’t left wanting for more in any way.
