Honestly, the best thing you have going for you with the M340i is that you simply get a newer car with less miles, with adequate performance.
If you go the F8X route, I'd recommend only 2017-2018 as those have more features like CarPlay (which came in some 2017s but can be coded into all). If I were in your position today, I think I'd choose the M340i. Newer car, less miles, newer tech and interior, B58 repair costs.
Weight the differences between the B58 and the S55. Also think about DCT vs 8 Speed Auto. For some, the DCT is >>>> the automatic. I'd bet a tuned B58 could easily match a stock S55. M340i also has a comfier suspension set.
M340i:
- newer interior, newer car, newer tech
- B58 is plenty powerful for a DD, mild-hybrid
- comfort-oriented suspension with some sportiness
- adaptive cruise control, etc
- AWD or RWD?
M3:
- DCT (though my wife prefers the non-dramatic automatic over the quirky DCT)
- Many more mods for exterior, internal/performance, and interior
- Sportier suspension with an agreeable comfort mode
- It's an M3. Even fully stock, it'll get more looks than a new M340i.
