I'm giving up my E92 M3 DCT for an M340i xDrive and I'm looking forward to it. The M3 is for shenanigans and is a joy to drive aggressively but for me at least it is obnoxious in traffic and is a chore to drive long distances. While comfort is quite good for a sports car, it is still a bumpy ride and supposedly F80 is even worse in this department. I'm also looking forward to having very RWD biased AWD as well because I live in a wet road climate and I'm tired of the traction issues. I had an M235i xDrive which is basically the same xDrive and it is very very good with almost no difficulty getting the back end to slide around.
I think if you're in a dry climate and want a fire breathing car, then yeah M3 all the way. But if you want a daily that is fairly comfortable, very capable, is enjoyable to drive quickly, and certainly if you want AWD, it's M340i.
