Yes, it's fast out of the box due to X-drive, but the top end pulling power is not comparable. Nonetheless, the performance of the G20 M340i is impressive for a mainstream sedan.

Assume you're referring to the fact a stock F80/2 M3/4 is more like 12 flat or 12.1 at 119-120 mph trap speed?

Yes, F8X has a similar ET but a greater trap speed @ 117-120mph (with DCT).

G20 is best in class.
That is why, if the publication is not US-based, it will definitely win any comparison test.

saving it for the LCI as BMW typically does. Or since the 540 is not an Mperformance model itll stay at the 355

I have one this weekend, I had it airborne..
The M340i with Pilot 4S tires skates around turns.. My only complaint is it feels huge, it can hold its own but the larger body takes some getting use to. However, I bet money you can take more than 90% of the cars on the road and not just in a strait line but around corners also.. This car can boogie |

No point in buying the old M3 if you can get the same numbers with x drive. Also just posted is the KBB comparo with the G70, I want to know what the nuremburg lap times are for the G70 to see a true comparison, I bet this car is faster, jutifying the $6k price difference when comparing starting price of 3.3t to starting price of M340i.

The 540 handled pretty well at the UDE I was surprised felt like a smaller car than it was even with 4 passengers adding weight. Could be that it was the M Sport model which may have helped, they had us test drive both S drive and X drive.

I can't imagine for one second, that the M340i - as competent as it might be - gets anywhere close to the driving dynamics and excitement of the F80.
