We will have to see which is faster on the Nuremburg. |
I think the F80 would be faster around the track based on my experience driving them both (on the street) but I could be wrong. Who knows. |
I been in a passenger seat of an M4 before, never actually drove it but I felt the pull and I feel like the M340i can pass or keep up with it. No BS.
Four door cars are not my thing since I have no kids and don't care to have any friends but dare anyone that underestimates the M340i to drive one first, don't just go off the numbers, actually take one in an empty back road or a highway at 3am, then come back and tell me it's not better or equivalent to a current generation M4.
I guarantee it would change your outlook.

Ok, I have an M340, not an M4, and I would never claim that the M340 is as good as the current M4. Like you, I have ridden in an M4 many times (my brother has an M4 Competition), but not driven it much. Yes, the M340 pulls in a similar way up to 60 or so, but above that the M4 is the clear winner. And in handling terms, there is clear air between them too.
I love my M340, but let's not get too crazy with the superlatives and M4 comparisons, particularly if you haven't driven an M4 yourself. This only plays into the hands of those who think the "M" Performance badging is sacrilege and foreshadowing the end of the world!
