More and more dealers across the United States have the 2023 3 Series Sedan and BMW of Mountain View is now showcasing the M340i. The more expensive xDrive version, this sports sedan in LCI flavor has quite a few boxes ticked on the options list, including the lovely Portimao Blue Metallic paint and the 19-inch wheels with a two-tone finish.<\/p>\n

As with most 3 Series LCI<\/a> videos, this M Performance model has the Shadowline upgrade with an assortment of black accents, including a dark kidney grille. It also has adaptive LED headlights with cornering lights as well as the 50 years of M anniversary badges on the outside. More expensive extras include the $1,700 Driver Assistance Professional Package and the $1,350 Premium Package, while that black Vernasca leather upholstery is another $1,700.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the car has been configured with the electric trunk lid deleted (-$100) and boasts additional goodies like the dashboard wrapped in synthetic leather. Other notable upgrades are the adaptive M suspension for $550 and the Harman Kardon sound system for $875. Taking into consideration the $995 destination charge and a few miscellaneous items, this 2023 BMW M340i xDrive retails for $67,370.<\/p>\n

It has to be one of the most desirable builds we\u2019ve seen since the facelifted 3 Series debuted earlier this year, at least outside of the M3<\/a> realm. The customer who ordered the car certainly had good taste and we\u2019re particularly fond of how the red brake calipers look against the blue body. You\u2019ll also notice the M-esque side mirror caps in black and more glossy dark accents in the back for the diffuser and trunk lid spoiler.<\/p>\n

The iDrive8 remains a controversial feature depending on whether you like screens atop the dashboard or not. There\u2019s no denying the tech it uses is great, but some would\u2019ve hoped for a more seamless integration like cars with the previous-generation infotainment have.<\/p>\n

Overall, the 3 Series G20 remains a desirable luxury car and it is believed BMW has extended the model\u2019s life cycle until early 2027<\/a>. Additional updates will be implemented before the seventh-gen 3er is going to be retired, with reports stating tweaks are to be applied in mid-2024.<\/p>\n
