BMW 340 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1949–1955) — First Generation
When considering a first-generation BMW 340 Sedan, look beyond the model name to the individual car’s mechanical condition. A smooth-running engine and a gearbox that shifts cleanly matter as much as the specification.
The 2.0 MT is one example of the BMW 340 engine and transmission pairing, combining gasoline power with a manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. You operate the clutch and select gears yourself, so smooth clutch engagement is particularly helpful when pulling away, parking or moving through traffic.
