Great write up. I never owned an E92 M3 (my first BMW was a E92 335) but i was always fond of the M3. By the time i was ready for my own M3 the F80 was out. Had one for 3 years and loved it. I still get excited when i see the old E92 M3's around town. Saw an E90 black M3 in Santa Barbara this past week that was a beauty.
The M340 is very capable, I enjoy sport plus mode and the exhaust. Its not quite as tight and sharp compared to the FF80 but the power is a decent replacement. I'm not a huge tech guy, but the apple car play (when it works), active cruise and drivers assistance are neat on long trips.
I doesn't give me that big swell of satisfaction when i look at it, but i def do think its a beautiful car.
