There's a lot of M treatment throughout the cabin and it is pretty well-equipped on the inside as well.

On the exterior front, the new BMW M340i looks much edgier. The new kidney grille with chrome bezels, sharp and sleek headlights, and the muscular bumper all scream aggression! In India the car drives in with 18-inch wheels which can be upgraded to 19-inchers that are optional. Compared to the regular 3 Series, the M340i sits lower by about 10 mm.
