Correct... and that doesn't change how the ZF8 feels... the software does that which can be reflashed in the M340i TCU as well.

Even w the lower power rating of the ZF8, thae higher power rating is a reliability backup to an already massive reliable tranny... as many M340i owners have large turbos with mounds more torque and zero ZF8 issues so on a stock to stock car that makes no difference.

Sure. I never said u can’t modify M340.
I don’t know why this thread is some sort of debate for M340 against M3. I thought it’s MY24 config thread.
I am out. Happy 4th.

Probably MY28. Because the H8x won't need all the cooling that the G8x platform does.

They are not going to change entire front end of the car for LCI. Different headlights is what is going to happen.

Photoshop the i5 headlights on a G8X and you'll get pretty close, I'm betting.
