True, but as the respective EU press releases reveal, the M340i is significantly less crippled than the Z4 M40i in Europe for some reason.

At any rate, the situation appears to be good news for future European X3/X4 M40i buyers. It was previously not known whether those would see a drop in output from their current 265kW B58B30M0 to the 250kW B58B30M1 that the Z4 M40i has been compromised with. With the M340i instead getting what looks to be a 275kW version of the B58B30O1, it seems likely that the SAV duo will also be so equipped when they upgrade to the new TU engines next year.
