BMW M340i engine
BMW has not changed anything under the bonnet of the new M340i. This means that it still comes equipped with a 3.0-litre, six-cylinder turbo-petrol engine with 48V mild-hybrid assist. For those who may not be aware, it is called the B58 motor, and it is considered one of the most tuner-friendly engines from BMW.
In the latest M340i, it makes a maximum power of 374 PS and 500 Nm of peak torque. As for the transmission, this sporty sedan gets an 8-speed automatic transmission. The M340i is known for its all-wheel-drive configuration, where it sends its power to all four wheels.
