EXHILARATION

The BMW 340i xDrive was my second to last test drive of the year and boy did they leave the best ‘til (second to) last.

This six-cylinder 285kW, 500Nm beast was pure driving exhilaration: 0 to 100km/h in 4.5 seconds with all the refi ned beauty that only a luxury M sport range can be.

Coming in at $140,610 plus ORC, it’s loaded with all the high-specifi cation gadgetry James Bond would need: Real time tra c information, remote services, tele services, BMW phone application, concierge services.

But it’s the drive that really got me. Smooth and powerful while your cabin experience is lush and refi ned.

The heads-up display and panoramic sunroof? It just becomes everything you want in a car: Power, performance and beauty personifi ed. You keep winning my heart, BMW.
