The Acura TLX Type S SH-AWD should be a direct competitor to the BMW M340i xDrive, which is why there is a full comparison on the official Acura website. However, closer examination shows an error as the BMW’s engine is incorrectly described as a V6 rather than the inline six.
Not all six-cylinder engines have cylinders arranged in a “V” shape. Acura engineers know this well, but managers didn’t pay much attention to the specifications.

In reality, the BMW M340i xDrive is supplied with a 3. 0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine that generates 382 hp (387 hp / 289 kW) and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque. On the other hand, the 3. 0-liter turbocharged V6 under the hood of the Acura TLX Type S SH-AWD produces a lower power output of 355 hp (265 kW / 360 hp) and 354 lb-ft (480 Nm) of torque. Both models are supplied with AWD systems, with automatic transmission transmissions that transmit power to all 4 wheels. The difference is that BMW’s unit is an 8-speed transmission, unlike Acura’s 10-speed transmission.
In addition to the error mentioned above, the direct comparison of Acura with the BMW has some points. First, it describes BMW’s grille and front design as “attractive but understated,” at least compared to the Acura’s “diamond-shaped Pentagon grille, larger air ducts. “, and an expansive sculpted chest. ” In the head department, the TLX has twice as many LED light elements as the German sedan, which is depicted in a pre-remodeled form. Another difference from a stylistic point of view is the BMW’s 18-inch and dual tailpipes compared to the Acura’s popular 20-inch wheels and 4 M3-style tailpipes.
Inside, Acura primarily highlights the 16-way electrically adjustable heated and ventilated seats compared to BMW’s 14-way configuration without ventilation option, and the fact that it offers a flat-bottomed steering wheel. The comparison continues with a value of $65,220 for the BMW when supplied comparably with an Acura at $54,200. If you were looking for a high-end sedan, which one would you choose?
