The BMW M340i has often been billed as the ‘baby M3’ for its adequate power and M-tuned handling. How does this new facelifted model stack up now that the price has been jacked up?

BMW’s sub-halo 3 Series has just received the company’s midlife facelift and on the surface at least, the results look impressive. Ciro De Siena took the car out to his favourite country road to find out if the M340i offers “enough BMW” this side of the M3.

In this review, we focus on the driving dynamics of the car and take a look at the new, revised interior of the M340i, which now features the new curved touchscreen and BMW’s iDrive 8 infotainment system.
