Not just the power, but everything about how it drove. The M340i felt soft by comparison. Still very good, but soft. As a daily, the M340i is probably the more sensible choice. I found the X3M to also be very noisy. Maybe it's me, but there was a buffeting sort of sound. Not sure where that was coming from. I would still take the X3M over the M340i. Very surprising. So I guess I can expect the G80 to be even better.

Yes, significantly better. The lower weight, lower COG, lower Cw, RWD or M-Xdrive all play in favor of the G80 being a sharper drive. The lateral support and feedback from the bucket seats should enhance the experience further when pushing it hard.
The G80 will eat the X3M and the M340i in every way.
