  <strong>The new BMW M340i xDrive.</strong></p>
<p>The exterior <strong>design</strong> of the new BMW M340i xDrive
  remains sporty as ever. The front end cuts a wide, low-slung and
  aggressive figure. Framed by a single surround, the black mesh style
  BMW kidney grille is linked to sleek Adaptive LED headlights with blue
  accents. The headlights are complimented by the M Lights Shadowline
  line which adds a sporty black tint making for an imposing front
  fascia. The car’s hood, long wheelbase, short overhangs and elegantly
  flowing roofline accentuate its sporting profile when viewed from the
  side. Exterior mirror caps with their unique M Design in high-gloss
  black add an eye-catching sporty look. Horizontal lines and the slim,
  stylishly darkened light units housing L-shaped LED taillights give
  the rear a wide, athletic stance. Complementing the M aerodynamics
  package, the car features a body-coloured M rear spoiler on the boot
  lid. The vehicle’s athletic touch is also enhanced by air intake
  struts and trapezoidal tailpipe trims. The 19-inch <strong>Jet Black
    Alloy Wheels</strong> in 995M styling with Red M Sport Brakes
  Calipers add hugely to the car’s road presence.</p>
<p>The <strong>interior</strong> accentuates luxury, comfort and the
  revered feeling of M. The first element to catch attention is the new
  digital BMW Curved Display<strong> </strong>which is harmoniously
  unified into the cockpit area so it almost looks like it is floating.
  Clear reduced design, eye-catching graphics, modern bright colours,
  futuristic textures and the interplay of reflections create an
  immersive visual appearance. Sport seats with Leather Varnasca
  upholstery in Black with M Highlights provide excellent lateral
  support and have a great range of adjustment. The sporty ambience of
  the interior is also underlined by the <strong>newly designed steering
  wheel</strong> with a red centre marker at the 12 o’clock position. 
  This, along with shift paddles, delivers a race car like seating
  experience. The performance-oriented ambience is boosted thanks to M
  High Gloss Shadowline, Individual Headliner Anthracite and interior
  trim strips in Carbon Fibre. Also, as exclusive design features, the
  digital instrument cluster and front door sills bear the model
  lettering ‘M340i’. The newly designed air vents are more modern in
  design. Welcome Light Carpet, projected from the side sill, welcomes
  passengers in glamorous style. Ambient Lighting with six dimmable
  light designs creates an atmosphere for every mood while Automatic 3
  zone A/C maintains the perfect temperature. Adding to the sense of
  space is the large glass sunroof. The big luggage compartment has a
  capacity of 480 litres. The 40:20:40 split backrest and automatic boot
  lid operation provide greater flexibility for loading / unloading. The
  car’s Harman Kardon Surround Sound system with 16 loudspeakers is an
  aural treat.</p>
<p>Customers can add sporting character to every detail with optional M
  Performance Accessories. Carbon Fiber elements such as rear spoiler,
  ornamental kidney grille and other elements add to menacing stance as
  well as aid reduce weight. Other M Performance elements such as M Door
  Pins, Alcantara Armrest and 50 Jahre M Emblem add to the exclusivity
  of the M340i. Customers can enquire with their local dealerships for
  availability of M Performance Accessories.</p>

<p>
  <strong>The new BMW M340i xDrive.</strong></p>
<p>The <strong>exterior</strong> design of the new BMW M340i xDrive
  remains sporty as ever. The front end cuts a wide, low-slung and
  aggressive figure. Framed by a single surround, the black mesh style
  BMW kidney grille is linked to sleek Adaptive LED headlights with blue
  accents. The car’s hood, long wheelbase, short overhangs and elegantly
  flowing roofline accentuate its sporting profile when viewed from the
  side. Exterior mirror caps add an eye-catching premium look due to
  their design based on M exterior mirror caps. Horizontal lines and the
  slim, stylishly darkened light units housing L-shaped LED taillights
  give the rear a wide, athletic stance. Complementing the M
  aerodynamics package, the car features a body-coloured M rear spoiler
  on the boot lid. The vehicle’s athletic touch is also enhanced by air
  intake struts and trapezoidal tailpipe trims. The 19-inch M light
  alloy wheels in 791 M styling, diamond polished and jet black give the
  impression of an eager racing machine.</p>
<p>The <strong>interior</strong> accentuates luxury, comfort and the
  revered feeling of M. The first element to catch attention is the new
  digital <strong>BMW Curved Display </strong>which is harmoniously
  unified into the cockpit area so it almost looks like it is floating.
  Clear reduced design, eye-catching graphics, modern bright colours,
  futuristic textures and the interplay of reflections create an
  immersive visual appearance. <strong>Sport seats</strong> with
  M-specific upholstery in a Sensatec/Alcantara trim provide excellent
  lateral support and have a great range of adjustment. Paired with M
  leather steering wheel with shift paddles they deliver a race car like
  seating experience. The performance-oriented ambience is boosted
  thanks to M High Gloss Shadowline, Individual Headliner Anthracite and
  interior trim strips in Carbon Fibre. Also, as exclusive design
  features, the digital instrument cluster and front door sills bear the
  model lettering ‘M340i’. Welcome Light Carpet, projected from the side
  sill, welcomes passengers in glamorous style. Ambient Lighting with
  six dimmable light designs creates an atmosphere for every mood while
  Automatic 3 zone A/C maintains the perfect temperature. Adding to the
  sense of space is the large glass sunroof. The big luggage compartment
  has a capacity of 480 litres. The 40:20:40 split backrest and
  automatic boot lid operation provide greater flexibility for loading /
  unloading. The car’s Harman Kardon Surround Sound system with 16
  loudspeakers is an aural treat.</p>
<p>The new BMW M340i xDrive is powered by <strong>2,998 cc straight-six
    petrol engine</strong> which produces an output of 374 hp and 500 Nm
  maximum torque. It is accompanied by a characteristic sound thanks to
  the M Sport exhaust unit. The car completes the sprint from 0 to 100
  km/hr in 4.4 seconds, making it the quickest BMW to be produced in the country.</p>
<p>The <strong>eight-speed Steptronic Sport automatic
  transmission</strong> performs smooth, almost imperceptible
  gearshifts. At any time, in any gear, the transmission collaborates
  perfectly with the engine, enabling it to develop its full power and
  efficiency. For even greater driving pleasure, it is available with
  steering wheel paddle shifters and cruise control with braking
  function as standard. The Driver Experience Control modes SPORT and
  SPORT+ help support more dynamic driving even further by transferring
  power to the rear wheels.</p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW xDrive</strong>, the intelligent all-wheel drive
  technology monitors the driving situation and is quick to respond to
  ensure maximum traction, agility and vehicle stability. The standard
    <strong>M Sport rear differential</strong> enhances traction and
  cornering by electronically controlling the distribution of power to
  each individual wheel. It helps to avoid understeer and oversteer in
  situations involving multiple changes of direction and load. With
  kinematics and elastokinematics tuned for dynamic driving, the
    <strong>M Sport suspension</strong> can lower the ride height by 10
  mm to offer a more engaging driving experience. The <strong>Variable
    Sport Steering</strong> is precise and responsive even when only a
  slight steering input is applied. <strong>M Sport brakes</strong>
  provide excellent braking performance and intuitive feel, whether
  negotiating city streets or driving around a circuit on a track day.
  The brake calipers are painted blue and display the M logo. The
    <strong>BMW Performance Control System</strong> increases the
  stability of the car by targeted braking of the wheels.</p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW ConnectedDrive</strong> technology breaks the innovation
  barrier and turns the car into an interconnected digital device. Host
  of ConnectedDrive features include Digital Key Plus, Emergency Call,
  Real-time Traffic Information and Remote Services through MyBMW app.</p>
<p>

  BMW Curved Display with Navigation, a 12.3-inch digital information
  display behind the steering wheel and <strong>BMW Head-up Display</strong>.</p>
<p>The latest BMW iDrive with <strong>Operating System 8</strong>,
  offers all the possibilities for interaction between occupants and the
  vehicle – using touch, gesture or speech. It is complemented by the
    <strong>BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant</strong> which has a
  self-learning intelligence that adopts a driver’s individual habits,
  proactively provides useful tips on new driving functions and
  seamlessly integrates smartphone apps. Regular Remote Software
  Upgrades ensure that the car is always up to date. Wireless smartphone
  integration opens access to a range of functions and apps. Smartphone
  holder integrated in the centre console allows inductive, Wireless Charging.</p>
<p>
  <strong>My BMW App</strong> keeps an eye on vehicle status and
  includes ‘Learning Navigation’ which offers destination suggestions
  and traffic information based on driving habits. <strong>BMW Digital
    Key Plus</strong> turns a smartphone into a vehicle key enabling
  remote locking / unlocking and starting the car.</p>
<p>The spread of driver assistance systems is more extensive than ever.
  Parking Assistant with Rear View Camera makes parking in tight spots
  easier. The Reversing Assistant provides unmatched support in
  reversing out of a parking spot or through narrow driveways. It keeps
  a record of the last 50 metres driven and assists by taking over the steering.</p>

  spent behind the wheel is pure joy.</p>
<p>The Ultimate Sports Sedan – Dynamic performance, overwhelming driving
  comfort and unparalleled agility.</p>
<p>Seventh generation of the modern icon with next level of progressive
  technology and segment-first features.</p>
<p>BMW Virtual Assistant with high personalisation and individual character.</p>
<p>Complete peace of mind with exclusively designed financial packages,
  low cost of ownership and assured buy-back.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Gurugram</strong>. The all-new BMW 3 Series, the power-packed
  seventh generation of the world’s most iconic sports sedan, was
  unveiled today at the ‘Thrill City’ in Gurugram. Locally produced at
  BMW Group Plant Chennai, the all-new BMW 3 Series is now available in
  diesel and petrol variants at all BMW dealerships across India.</p>
<p>Mr. Rudratej Singh, President and Chief Executive Officer, BMW Group
  India said, “The 3 is the heart and soul of BMW. As the ultimate
  sports sedan, for over four decades, it has been the flag bearer of
  ‘Sheer Driving Pleasure’. In its new avatar, the 3 has outdone itself
  once again! Built for thrill and driven by technology, the all-new BMW
  3 Series is an automobile that creates an impeccable harmony between
  the driver, the machine and the road. Enthusiasts waiting for the
  perfect luxury sports sedan will be undoubtedly drawn to its new
  design, generous space, luxurious interiors and host of innovative
  technologies. Our current patrons, who swear by the unmatched driving
  character of the 3, will be equally thrilled with its enhanced
  best-in-class handling and agility.”</p>
<p>‘Thrill City’, a unique pop-up space, reflects the pulse of modern
  city life, full of buzzing entertainment, high skylines, city squares
  and even has its own nightclub. Created exclusively for the launch, it
  showcases the highly-urban, dynamic and spirited personality of the
  all-new BMW 3 Series.</p>
<p>The all-new BMW 3 Series makes an incredible impression with
  segment-first technologies for an even better driving experience.
  Making its debut in the all-new BMW 3 Series is the <strong>BMW
    Virtual Assistant</strong>, a digital personality of the vehicle
  that responds to voice commands. It sets a new benchmark for voice
  recognition. Drivers can operate a number of car functions simply by
  speaking to their BMW Virtual Assistant. It can be addressed by saying
  “Hey BMW” or a customer-defined wake word, thereby adding an
  individual touch to the car. Hands do the talking with <strong>BMW</strong>
  <strong>Gesture Control</strong>, which is part of a rigorously
  thought-out operating concept that recognizes six pre-defined hand
  movements for control of a number of functions. The spread of
    <strong>driver assistance</strong> systems is more extensive than
  ever. The <strong>Reversing Assistant </strong>provides unmatched
  support in reversing out of a parking spot or through narrow
  driveways. It keeps a record of the last 50 metres driven and assists
  by taking over the steering.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Overwhelming driving comfort</strong> of the all-new BMW 3
  Series is a result of the debut of lift-related damper control that
  reduces body movement perceptibly caused by bumpy road surfaces and
  dynamic cornering, which paves the way for sporty, authoritative handling.</p>
<p>The all-new BMW 3 Series adapts perfectly not only to a dynamic
  lifestyle but also to personal taste. It is available in three design
  schemes - Sport, Luxury Line and M Sport. Sport celebrates the gust of
  adrenaline with sporty style and self-confidence. Luxury Line indulges
  movement in style and endows elegance. M Sport package bestows
  masculine character distinguishing itself as an elite sports model.</p>
<p>The all-new BMW 3 Series is available in two diesel variants (BMW
  320d Sport and BMW 320d Luxury Line) and in one petrol variant (BMW
  330i M Sport) which are locally produced. The ex-showroom prices are
  as follows –</p>
<p>BMW 320d Sport                   :           INR 41,40,000      </p>

  <strong>The all-new BMW 3 Series </strong></p>
<p>The all-new BMW 3 Series benefits from slightly increased dimensions
  and a new striking design language that clearly sets it apart from its
  predecessor visually. The <strong>exterior </strong>embodies the
  modern and dynamic character of the new BMW 3 Series sedan with
  precisely drawn lines and strikingly contoured surfaces. The large BMW
  kidney grille and the headlights leading off it are dominant themes of
  the front end. Longer wheelbase, short overhangs and the redesigned
  Hofmeister kink accentuate the dynamic profile when viewed from the
  side. A wider and more powerful stance is instantly noticeable from
  the rear. A contemporary sporty look is created by the distinctive
  spoiler and slim three-dimensional L-shaped taillights with LED
  technology along with two large tailpipes. <strong>Best-in-class
    optimized aerodynamics have reduced the car’s drag coefficient to 0.23.</strong></p>
<p>Despite larger dimensions, the <strong>car is now lighter
  </strong>than before, thanks to intelligent lightweight construction.
  A smart mix of materials in the car, such as aluminum in the bonnet,
  front side panels, front spring struts and engine sub-frame have led
  to a <strong>reduction of 55 kilograms</strong>.</p>
<p>The <strong>interior</strong> is designed to accentuate cabin
  spaciousness and the driver-focused cockpit. Extended shoulder and
  elbow room in the front and additional legroom and headroom in the
  rear contribute to a generous feeling of space. Filling up the cabin
  with a sense of spaciousness is the large glass sunroof. Through
  loading system includes rear seat backrests that can be divided in a
  40:20:40 ratio for greater flexibility.</p>
<p>The newly designed Sport Seats with electrical memory function offer
  greater long-distance <strong>comfort</strong> for the driver and
  front passenger. Automatic air conditioning with three-zone control
  extends comfort. Optimised acoustic properties reduce noise levels and
  make the journey even more peaceful. Ambient Lighting with six
  dimmable designs creates an atmosphere for every mood. Welcome Light
  Carpet, which is projected from the side sill, welcomes passengers in
  glamorous style.</p>
<p>Thanks to unrivalled <strong>BMW TwinPower Turbo </strong>
  <strong>technology</strong>, the petrol and diesel engines meld
  maximum power with exemplary efficiency and offer spontaneous
  responsiveness even at low engine speeds. The two-litre four-cylinder
    <strong>petrol engine</strong> of the BMW 330i produces an output of
  258 hp and maximum torque of 400 Nm at 1,550 – 4,400 rpm. The car
  accelerates from 0 -100 km / hr in just 5.8 seconds. The two-litre
  four-cylinder <strong>diesel engine</strong> of the BMW BMW 320d
  produces an output of 190 hp and a maximum torque of 400 Nm at
  1,750 – 2,500 rpm. The car accelerates from 0 -100 km / hr in just 6.8 seconds.</p>
<p>Using the <strong>Driving Experience Control switch</strong>, the
  driver is able to choose between different driving modes to suit the
  driving conditions (ECO PRO, Comfort, Sport, Sport+).</p>
<p>The <strong>eight-speed Steptronic Sport automatic
  transmission</strong> performs smooth, almost imperceptible
  gearshifts. At any time, in any gear, the transmission collaborates
  perfectly with the engine, enabling it to develop its full power and
  efficiency. For even greater driving pleasure, it is available with
  steering wheel paddle shifters and cruise control with braking
  function as standard. This easy-to-operate system paves the way for
