We can use Hockheim short track as a comparison to guess how the m340xi compares to the F80 M3 on the Hockenheim GP track. Using the Mercedes AMG GT as a benchmark we can see that the F80 M3 is ~2.7 seconds slower than the AMG GT on the Hockenheim short. On the Hockenheim GP we can see that the m340 is ~5.7 seconds slower than the AMG GT.
Furthermore, we can see that there was a 45 second difference between the Hockenheim GP and Short time for the AMG GT. So using these as a benchmark, we can speculate that an F80 M3 would time approximately 1:58.10 or about 3 seconds faster than the m340xi.
Hockenheim Short (HmS)
---------------------------
F80 M3 - 1:13.10
Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S - 1:10.40
Hockenheim GP (HmGP)
---------------------------
G20 m340xi - 2:01.10
Hypothetical F80 M3 time: 1:58.10
Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S - 1:55.40
Discussion
3 second difference between F80 M3 and m340xi. This bodes really well for the m340xi as there is room for tuning and modification that could put it far above the F80 M3.

Great post with extrapolation of data, all good until you mentioned tuning. Let's talk Both stock or Both tuned. Otherwise it will be like the "my remapped 335i can beat an M3 (E92)" type post🤣
