I would say all cars are heavy these days even M cars. We can't live in the past and as great at my E46's were I have no desire to choose that over the M340i today. M340i is great for what it is and competes well in its category. None of the cars it competes against is great in everything.

Drive the X3 M40i and you'll appreciate the M340i. M340i is not that heavy considering it's a 4 door sedan with a huge trunk. The M2C which is a small car still weigh a hefty 3600 pounds. The RWD M340i weighs 3849 lbs, you can't expect it to have M2C weight.

All these cars are a compromise even the actual M cars so one must wager what's best satisfies his or her needs. At least, those of us who can only afford one car to handle multiple functions. If money is no object, get a new C8 and a non M sedan and call it day.
