NHTSA has not crash-tested the 2022 BMW M340i, so it carries no Safety Index and no star ratings of any kind. What the federal record does show is a Light recall and complaint burden: one recall campaign and six owner-reported complaints on file. That picture is neither a green light nor a red flag on crash safety, because crash performance simply has not been measured for this model year.
The 2022 BMW M340i was not crash-tested by NHTSA, carries one recall campaign on record, and falls in the Light recall and complaint burden band according to NHTSA federal safety data.

ANALYSISHow safe is the 2022 BMW M340i?
The 2022 BMW M340i sits in the Light burden band, meaning its combined recall and complaint volume is toward the lower end of what NHTSA data shows across comparable vehicles. The single recall is a seat-belt campaign shared with a wide range of BMW models, and its scope underscores the importance of a VIN lookup rather than assuming the recall has been addressed. The six reported complaints are distributed across six distinct components, suggesting no single system has drawn concentrated concern from owners of this model year. No tested sibling years exist in the data we cover, so there is no adjacent crash-test record to reference as context. The Light band is a record-based observation, not a crash-safety determination, and shoppers should treat it accordingly.
NHTSA // RECALLSDoes the 2022 BMW M340i have any recalls?
