The 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.

Got myself a 330Li last month. It has enough grunt for the city roads where it’s mostly used. But I can imagine how crazy M340i must be. 😅

@avisrivastava9544 Год назад

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. 🔥

@amsrocks Год назад

Because people would go for the c class instead and india isn't very enthusist rich market but rather a chauffer driven country in this market

@avisrivastava9544 Год назад

@@amsrocks People will get the C over Lwb 3 anyway. The 3 series, especially 320d sold in good numbers. And it used to cost less than both the C class and Lwb 3 series.

@evoIndia Год назад

It's all about that extra space.

@harshchavan8123 Год назад

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.

@sirishch Год назад

Turns out buyers were all opting for the LWB

340i is one of the best offerings in the sub-1 crore category. Grey metallic body colour looks just stunning!! well done BMW.

@doctor.arjun.drives Год назад

M40i definitely is the way to go if you loving driving. I drove one and it feels super stable and quick. Only problem is space is less inside.

@evoIndia Год назад

And for space you have the 320Ld. It all depends on whether you want that or great performance.

@sirishch Год назад

Relatively less compared to LWB

@vardanrathi7777 Год назад

320Ld is far better compared to overall practicality, Indian conditions, mileage and rear seat space.

Self driving- buy m340i (consider s5 too) Chauffeur + self driving or with parents- buy 330li Looking for fuel economy in a rs 65 lakh car -buy 320ld My gripe with all these luxury cars is not having adas level 2 (really handy on expressways) and no 360°cams for tight parking spots. Cmon 20 lakh cars have it now

@evoIndia Год назад

That's one way to segregate the models!

I own new 2023 m340i(382hp) and had a 2021 330i (trade in ). Both are great cars in their respective segments but there is no way of comparison between them. Being own it , I can say M340i is proper daily driven rocket . This b58 engine is uncompetable in that segment

@evoIndia Год назад

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.

I believe they offering in India too with decent price(please check with local dealer). My current 340i has non-run flat tires and so far, I haven’t faced any issue. I prefer non-run flat tires with adaptive suspension which makes ride smooth and worry-free

@Arunvijaiyan Год назад

On the technical front, can you be a bit specific what has actually changed with the suspension on the ld over the regular 3 series?

@evoIndia Год назад

It has a different suspension package that makes it more comfy.

@sirishch Год назад

Become a little softer. Spring and damper rates have changed. Also to account for the added weight. The setup is the same though

@@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 😉
