Used 2017 BMW 340i for Sale

What's New in the 2017 BMW 340i?

A new engine means the former 328i is now the 330i. The 340i receives the M Sport package as standard (mainly cosmetic, but with a higher electronic limit to the top speed: 155 mph instead of 130), though the Sport or Luxury package could be substituted for no extra charge. Apple CarPlay is now available. See the 2017 BMW 3 Series models for sale near you

Which 340i is the Best?

The 330i has a sensible-yet-tempting mix of acceleration, fuel economy and (relative) affordability. The 330e is also intriguing, with that extra power and greater fuel efficiency. But BMW's 6-cylinder engines are beautiful, so the 340i would be our pick in an ideal world. Find a BMW 3 Series for sale

How Much Does a 2017 BMW 340i Cost?

The 2017 BMW 3 Series range starts out with the basic 320i sedan ($34,145), which comes standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, push-button start, auto stop/start (a fuel-saving feature that tends to make its presence felt but can be disabled), Driving Dynamics Control (offering three settings for throttle sensitivity and steering effort), manually adjustable front seats, leatherette upholstery, dual-zone climate control, Bluetooth, iPod/USB connectivity and the iDrive infotainment system with a 6.5-in screen.

The 330i ($39,745), 328d ($40,945) and 330e ($44,795) are generally equipped like the 320i but add a few conveniences like an auto-dimming rearview mirror and power-adjustable front seats with driver's-side memory settings. The 330i xDrive Sports Wagon ($43,645) and 328d xDrive Sports Wagon ($45,145) enjoy a panoramic sunroof, a powered lift gate and roof rails to go with their station wagon body style.

The 340i ($48,595) is mostly about the powerful 6-cylinder engine but also gets other upgrades, such as 18-in alloy wheels, 16-speaker Harman Kardon audio, LED headlights, a sunroof and keyless entry/ignition.

Most models can be customized with a choice of appearance packages that offer bespoke wheels and interior decor. The M Sport package includes exterior trim, a sport suspension, an M steering wheel, sport seats, a short-shifter kit (with the manual transmission only) and extensive M badging throughout.

The options list is extensive and expensive. The Premium package varies by model but adds power lumbar support and keyless entry/ignition with a foot-activated trunk opening and closing feature. The Cold Weather package brings a heated steering wheel along with heated seats front and rear.

Standalone options are limited on the 320i but seemingly limitless for the rest of the range, highlighted by dynamic cruise control, a self-parking system, Harman Kardon audio, navigation and the larger 8.8-in iDrive display. All models are eligible for the BMW Apps program, which brings social media via a smartphone.
