This allows the M340i to accelerate from 0–100 kph in just 4.4 seconds. It maxes out at an electronically limited top speed of 250 kph. The car also features the BMW standard four drive-modes — ECO Pro / COMFORT / SPORT / SPORT+. Additionally, the M340i xDrive gets a lot of parts from BMW’s M Division armoury. It features an M tuned exhaust, suspension, brakes in addition to a Variable Sports steering rack.
