M340 was the much better all around choice for me based on all these things.
M3P is head and shoulders above M340i is every aspect related to actual movement in space, not just acceleration. The only way not to notice it is to have never tried. This is not my personal opinion - an M3P just won BS in Solo Nationals last month. This is the class with M2s, M4s, 987 S - the cars that no one here would ever argue handle worse than M340i.

BTW, the 0-60 party trick never gets old. Because in reality it's a 0-40 party trick, which you can legally do on the street over and over and over again. Street lights were created by God because she knew one day we would have EVs.

Oh, and Model 3's interiors suck. There's no argument here.
M3P is supposed to compete with M3/4 but costs about the same and actually less than M340i after tax rebate, though BMW prices are negotiable and I've heard of folks getting 10 percent off msrp.
