However, a quick play on the configurator gives me the spec I would want coming in at a list of £55,460. Essentially the same spec on an M340i comes to £60,190 list or +8.5%. I think for that % difference, which doubtless would close up with bigger discounts on the M340i, my heart would rule over my head.
In the Netherlands it's the other way round. We have a BPM "luxury tax" which applies to cars on top of the regular VAT. The BPM is lower for low emissions cars. So the M340i xDrive is stupidly expensive, but it makes the 330e roughly similar in price to a 318i.
