The car surely doesn't devaluate 40% the first year!!!

Are you sure your M4 was $100k before tax? It would need $25k of options to hit that price point, and I don't recall yours to be loaded (no CCB, no LEDs, no full leather, etc).
Further, 1st year depreciation is the worst, I am pretty sure it will be way way more than $1000/month. On a 24 month lease with 20k km/year, BMW figures a 54% residual, hence 46% depreciation over 2 years. Another point to consider is that options devaluate extremely fast; on some options, you don't recuperate any cost at all.
It also depends how you option your 340i, a loaded 340i hits $70k.
