5 reasons to buy the 2019 BMW 340

1. Powerful turbocharged engine 

If you’re looking for a luxury car with some oomph, the 2019 BMW 340 packs a punch. The turbocharged 3.0L inline six-cylinder engine makes 320 hp and 330 lb-ft of torque, providing plenty of thrills for every drive. It’s paired with a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission. The BMW 340 can go from zero to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds (according to the manufacturer, when new), offering effortless acceleration around town or on the highway. Wherever you take this performance machine, you’ll discover it’s simply a joy to drive. 

2. Plenty of cargo space 

Want to load up the car for a road trip? You’ll appreciate the incredible utility of the 2019 BMW 340. The power liftgate opens high, making it easy to load all your gear without bumping your head. You’ll get 24.6 cu-ft of cargo space, which opens up to 56.8 cu-ft with the 40/20/40 split rear seats folded flat. Just use the handy pull handles in the trunk to drop the rear seatbacks and access all the space you need for your next getaway. 

3. Standard driver aids 

New for the 2019 model year, the BMW 340 includes several helpful driver-assistance features as standard. You’ll get front and rear parking sensors, forward collision warning with pedestrian detection and low-speed automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and rear cross-traffic warning. If you’d like a little more, you can look for a model with available adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring. Whether you’re driving solo with tons of gear or you’re carrying more precious cargo, the BMW 340 can provide peace of mind for every journey. 

4. Intuitive tech features 

If you’re looking for a luxury car with user-friendly tech features, the 2019 BMW 340 delivers. The iDrive infotainment interface is easy to manage, with a 6.5-inch display screen and center console controller. You’ll get Bluetooth® connectivity, satellite radio, and a premium 16-speaker Harman Kardon® surround sound system to rock out to your favorite tunes. Additional tech features include available wireless charging and an available Wi-Fi hotspot so you can stay connected on every journey.

5. Comfortable cabin 

The 2019 BMW 340 offers a premium, indulgent experience. When you get behind the wheel, you can ensure your seat is just the way you like it with power-adjustable lumbar support, side bolsters, thigh support, and two memory settings. If you want to stretch your legs, you don’t have to worry that your back-seat passengers will be cramped—they get a generous 39.2 inches of legroom. You’ll also enjoy standard simulated leather or available Dakota leather upholstery in the whisper-quiet cabin.
