However at higher speeds or highway pulls, the F80 would pull away.
Still, the M340(x)i is a great car it seems! As tempting as it is for a DD, I'm still holding out for the G80 as I do track every now and again.

Mine trapped at 114.5 with a bad launch, 91 octane and an engine that's barely broken in. They may be getting pretty close to the F80.
On the street, normal driving, the M340 will perform better than an M3 or even M5. I actually did a test the other day because my M340 felt faster than my M5 from 40-60, when cruising at ~40 then stepping on it. Confirmed this with a dragy. It got from 40-50 in 3/4 of the time it takes the M5! And beats it to 60, by 1 100th of a second lol. But the point is, these cars just go when you step on it. I feel like the M's take a while for the turbos to spool up (and for the M3/4 to get traction). Day to day driving, the M340 wins. On a track the F80 M3/4 wins, but not by much!
