I want hear some opinion can I ask you which engine will you chose to modify? as I can read you know something about this topic Jmg

If the car itself was the same, ie a B58 equipped M2C vs a S55 equipped M2C, with the same cooling, suspension, brakes etc, I'd choose the S55 simply because it makes more power and torque.
However, if it were an S58, which is currently in the X3M, of course I would choose an S58 equipped M car with all that it entails: cooling, suspension, brakes, lightening etc. for the same reasons: more power and torque, and in this case sooner delivery in the RPM band.
The M340i is great for a street car: modern interior, versatile X-Drive for maximum grip, and comfort options. However, even if the M340i was equipped with a more powerful S58 I would rather get the S55 equipped M2C simply because it's lighter. I cannot express how much more enjoyable and important a better handling car is than a car that drags well. Nothing to me about racing is more boring than the drag race. Of course that's subjective and if street racers enjoy it, then enjoy it in good health, the M340i will do just fine. It's just doesn't do what I want in a fun weekend car.
