I have an M340i as well and I prefer the throttle response and daily driver characteristics of the X3M. M340i is good and certainly more power below 3k, but throttle tip-in feels lethargic compared to X3M. G80 M3 should be even better since it will be some 700 lbs less weight.

And don’t forget that an insider have indicated that the G8X has a revised S58 with at a minimum a very different intake system with more optimized routing with shorter piping. Once you change something more changes are likely implemented as ECU tuning to adjust to changes in physical characteristics.
