BMW M3Phwoarty – BMW M340i xDrive Sedan review
A little over a month ago BMW New Zealand gave us the keys to their M340i Touring. It’s a bit of a brute of a vehicle with oodles of power and, thanks to its extended tail end, plenty of room too. A thrilling drive that also (since it’s not a full blown, guns ablazin’ M3) […]
