BMW M340i POWERED BY CASTROL EDGE THE EVERYDAY 'SLEEPER'

AT xBhp, we like our machines, but we like customising them just as much.

I have been doing this sort of stuff for a while now because designing has been one of my many passions over the course of my life. Be it a design meant as a tribute or a design that conveys a message, there have been many machines in the xBhp Garage that have donned enviable liveries.

As such, here's the latest avatar of xBhp's prized possession, our first proper sports car- the BMW M340i. This is a car that looks understated but hides a monster under the hood. At the heart of it sits the legendary B58 engine, the same powerplant that powers icons like the Toyota Supra. It's an engine designed not just for maximum performance but also for long-term reliability, something rare in today's performance car world.

Of course, any engine, especially one this potent, demands the right care. That's where Castrol EDGE with PowerBoost Technology™ comes into play. With up to 40% improved performance over industry standards, it ensures that the B58 keeps delivering the goods, whether you're gunning it down an open highway or scoffing at the city traffic. And that is what this livery pays tribute to... the lifeblood of a machine! Now, the question is why the BMW M340i, and when did my fascination with it start... You see, being a journalist has its perks; you often get to sample some of the most exciting machines out there. This car, though, is not a Press Car. This one is mine. Sitting proudly in the xBhp garage, it is the fruit of my pursuit of fantastic machines.
