Apples/Apples, the M3 will always be more expensive than a 3 Series and if you're going to use the price argument, that alone ends the conversation why someone would pick a M340i over a M3. Add the fact that the M340i will generally have more favourable incentives and credits, it makes the cost of a M340i lower than the M3.
We won't even get into the ride quality of the M3, while still compliant as a daily driver, the M340i is a lot more comfortable.
You would have a stronger argument if this was 330 vs M340i because they're a lot closer across the board with the only difference being engine but going from M340i to M3 is a much larger leap and if you're not dead set on a M3, you will likely be setting on a M340i.
