On top of that the 340i doesn't have the cooling necessary to support running a tune on multiple laps (in summer heat). Let's say you and a similarly experienced driver go out for a 20 minute session, most likely the m3 will be pulling away slowly since the 340i isn't designed for long track use. Sure you can clock a fast lap or two in the 340, but after a full track day the f80 wouldn't even break a sweat
Of course. No argument there.
