i really don't get the whole real M vs M-lite thing, literally who cares, i cannot imagine buying a car that's ~$30k more just because it's a "real M". i'd have to really want what comes with it, which i maybe would, but i wouldn't give the "real M" part a millisecond of thought

The OP asked for an opinion, I gave it. No one is saying spend another 30k more to get a real M car. His difference is 100 per month, he mentioned that the M340i is just as fast almost 0-60mph, and with those two points, I was trying to push him towards the real M car, because IMO that is the better value buy for similar money.
Another reason I stated that is because there are many threads debating previous M chassis or new M340i chassis. Many people were comparing to see if the M340i was good enough for the same price as a M4 / M3, and my response to that is also, no. It isn't a real M car. Nothing wrong with a M340i, at all - it's a great great car. Value wise, if paying the same monthly, why not get a full M car is my point.
There are things the M340i does either better or just as well as the F8x M car. However, OP mentioned he likes to go to track days, car events, rallies. All these things ultimately means he could benefit from a M car. Nothing more, nothing less. I've owned many non-M cars before and theres nothing wrong with them, but if I'm looking for a track tool, or something more performance oriented, then a M car is definitely more worth it, especially if the price is nearly the same.
