The ‘M340i BMW Korea 25th Anniversary Long Beach Blue Edition’ is also limited to 25 units. The ‘Long Beach Blue’ color applied to this edition is inspired by the Grand Prix circuit in Long Beach, a port city in California, USA. Until now, it has only been applied to some high-performance sports models such as the BMW M2 in Korea. Unlike the previously introduced M340i, this edition additionally features red brake calipers and an electric trunk door.

The Long Beach Blue Edition is equipped with a black high-gloss front attachment on the lower front bumper, and a carbon fiber rear spoiler and diffuser on the rear to emphasize a sporty atmosphere. The interior features a bright oyster color along with M seat belts. Adaptive M suspension, which allows for both comfortable ride quality and agile driving performance, is also standard.

Popular colors such as Portimao Blue (5 units), Alpine White (2 units), Mineral Grey (2 units), and Black Sapphire Metallic (1 unit) are applied.

The interior is styled in cognac or black depending on the exterior color, and performance features such as M Sport brakes and M Sport differential are standard to enable dynamic driving. The December release of the M340i xDrive Touring BMW Korea 25th Anniversary M Performance Edition is specially equipped with adaptive M suspension, M seat belts, and integrated headrest M sport seats to emphasize sportiness.
