My initial response was, this is going to be boring and slow.
Honestly, the engine sound from the 340i is amazing, it obviously doesn't compare to the performance of my car but the sound was so good I honestly loved pushing it and hearing that engine.
I loved that car and if I couldn't afford an M3, the 340i would be an excellent choice, awesome car.
You really need to test drive one to understand the difference, I met a BMW corporate guy that works in some type of training position (about 6 months ago), he explained that the "modular" engines in the newer BMW lineup (340i, i8, etc.) perform differently and I can say for sure, it's a different car than the 335i.
Hope this helps...good luck either way.

From what I understand the 340i has the ASD. While I'm conflicted about the method, I can't argue with the results. |
Agreed, it sounds very good. The MPPK 335i is not slow but is probably short about 10-20 rwhp to a stock 340i. The powerband on the B58 and the way it holds power to redline is the big advantage in my opinion.
