2019 BMW M340i xDrive prototype review

The outgoing ‘F30’ BMW 340i never really floated our collective boats. As a bridge between the top-selling 330i and hardcore M3, it didn’t hit the lofty heights you might've expected. BMW itself seems to have acknowledged this, because it’s taken a different approach with its new ‘G20’ 3 Series (temporary) range-topper. It’s faster, angrier, grippier and more agile, making it a more obvious competitor to the Mercedes-AMG C43 and Audi S4.
