It's a notch or two below a M car, and several notches above a 330i and 340i. This is a fucking paradigm shift in the M Performance genre.

Its just a 340, again, the M badge doesn't refer to anything in this case. |
The 340i sat on the F30 platform, while the M340i sits on the widely improved G20 platform. Now, if we put the 340i engine and bits on the G20 platform, it still would couldn't light a candle to the M340i, even if it was equipped with MPPSK. The power numbers and dynamics still outshine the 340i. Once again, it's not a pure M car, but it certainly isn't too far behind. It's a fantastic street car. Paradigm shift in the M Performance genre. And the power numbers can be greatly extended with a competent tune.
