Interestingly, the BMW M340i has quite a few fun touches in the cabin to complement the performance-focused nature of the car. You get a Harman Kardon surround sound audio system with 16 speakers, working with a 14.9-inch curved infotainment display and 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster behind the steering wheel. On the performance front, you also get M Adaptive suspension, in line with what's offered on other M series cars from BMW.
