I think you might have found a picture with the new/partial B3 in disguise!
The plates are from where they produce Alpinas , fairly likely they take the B58 from the M340i and upgrade it significantly. So this car could have the upgrade engine for testing. |

I'm not very impressed by the brakes of the M340. I think it's a step backwards from the M Sport Brake Option for the F30 335/340i which was a 370mm 4 piston front and 345mm 2 piston rear setup.

Not a fan of a number of the design features. Front grille, too Lexus-like. Rear end, too Audi/Acura-like. The headlights, WTF are those? Dash instrumentation looks like a failed Star Trek experiment. Too many things are un-BMW like.
The performance, on the other hand, is a home run. |

I know!! BMW Audi Merc all eliminate fixed 2 pistons caliper for the rear in order to get electronic parking brake for less money(except for Audi R8 of course, not even AMG GTR). Cut cost!! If you want fixed caliper for the rear and also electronic parking brake, u need to have 2 calipers. One normal rear brake one mini parking caliper, like Tesla model S and X, Alfa Giulia QV, Most supercars. It costs more to get 2 calipers when u can make it work using only one, and shitty looking floating caliper. It is all about the cost. I don't know how Porsche and Corvette accomplish this with only 1 fixed rear caliper, maybe a electronic drum brake for parking?? But it costs more too. BBA (Bmw,Benz,Audi) are too damn cheap.

Or (and probably most likely) they are just better brakes and can achieve the same performance targets for less weight and cost. Track driving reviews of the M340 xdrive were very positive about the brakes so sounds like early indication is they are the right choice |

My dealer just informed me that in Belgium they can give a quote for the M340i as of May and the online configurator will probably be updated around that period to include the 330e and the M340i. He could not say anything (yet) about the pricing. I am going to wait for the final details of the M340i before placing an order for the 330i.
