The Truth About Owning a BMW M340i

BMW M340i Review: Is this the last great petrol BMW? The BMW M340i is widely considered the "perfect" 3 Series, but in 2026, time is running out. With production of the G20 generation set to end later this year to make way for the new M350 and electric i3, we’re finding out if you should grab one of the final B58-powered straight-sixes while you still can.
