For those looking for a little more performance and excitement from an entry-level European sedan, the BMW 3 Series M340i xDrive AWD might check the right boxes. The xDrive represents BMW’s all-wheel drive (AWD) system, and the M means there’s plenty of upgrades in terms of styling and driving dynamics. Timeless looks and upscale finishes complete the package for a fun-to-drive and reasonably practical BMW that won’t ever go out of style. This BMW competes primarily with other European sedans and some coupes, such as the Audi A4 and A5, and other premium small cars like the Acura Integra and Genesis G70.
