BMW M340i vs BMW 320Ld M Sport | Which One Should You Buy? | evo India
Рет қаралды 81,820
Күн бұрынThe BMW 3 Series is known for the driving experience it offers. In India, it is available in two guises - the Gran Limousine and the M340i. The 320Ld is the more comfortable and easy, while the M340i is sportier, more engaging, and its exhaust sounds so good. Also, the latter is the only way you can get your hands on a regular wheelbase 3 Series in India. The 320Ld is priced from Rs 60.50 lakh and the M340i from Rs 69.20 lakh (ex-showroom). So which one should you buy? Our editor Sirish Chandran finds out.

I don't understand why they discontinued the normal 330i and 320d. Around 50 lakhs, they were such a good deal. The Long wheelbase version is surely not a good deal. M340i is worth the stretch for sure. 🔥

C class 2023 is a bit congested at back for tall people. Lwb is what people liked about 3 series since you get a balance of performance+comfort both. Also C class's ground clearance is not much as compared to 3 series. Chaffuer driven people will always go for Merc and driving enthusiasts will always go for Bmw.

Yep the M340i is a great car, no doubt, but with a difference of about Rs 10 lakh between that and the 320Ld, it's just a matter of choice whether one prefers comfort or performance.

@@TheKing-xp7lq i have the LCI 340i too, recently took delivery, and the car is insanely good to drive, but it doesn't sound good, no pops and bangs even with the mpe, and looks very normal even in dravit grey. The S5 is exciting, it pops and bangs like crazy and looks so good (photos and videos don't do it justice). The new S5 will most probably be electrified and have all touch controls like the A6, which are very difficult to operate. For pure driving pleasure, the M340i is unrivalled, but for an all rounder experience, the S5 is better. P.S. I can't disclose the prices but there are some pretty sweet deals going on the S5 that might change your view on the situation 😉
