Maybe your part of the world isn't the only one. In europe, the M sport brakes weren't part of the F30 M-Sport package, nor were all the 340i's M sport cars I think; you could certainly order them with other lines as well. From a quick look at
http://gebrauchtwagen.bmw.de/#/b/veh...22&variants=55 (german official BMW second hand market), surprisngly few were M-Sport trim.
So I don't think they called it M340i because "it'd be M-Sport anyway", but rather to upsell it to a higher base price and maybe have less options to worry about.
