A few considerations as an m340 driver.

Chassis is more stiff and capable on the g80
Wider tires on the g80
Better differential
To get to 600whp is possible on an m340 but costs about $10-15k and will leave you with less brakes, chassis performance or tire grip than a g80. Not to mention when you go to sell that modded g20 you will take a further hit…

That said, a stock m340ix will gap a stock rwd m3/4 off the line and probably stay ahead until 100mph. The powerband on the m340 is probably better for 60% driving, the suspension is more forgiving on harsh roads and fuel economy is like +10mpg on the highway.
