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.
If you preferred the X3M over M340i (as I do) then definitely go for G80 and skip G20 if you don't mind the looks. I would also wait for xDrive but that's my preference.
