The 340i already has enough power for most tracks especially with a tune and the B58 is a monster which if not capped could exceed the S55. I pass plenty of M3s and porsches at track.

honestly, it's not the power output that makes the difference between the two cars (like you said, a tuned B58 can easily keep up or beat an S55 in a straight), but the chassis and suspension tuning that makes them completely different. these two cars share very little parts (doors, windows, trim). the F8x platform has an exceedingly stiff torsional rigidity compared to a regular 3er. handling and chassis balance is what really makes the F8x a better car than the 3 series, which is geared towards more comfort, luxury and every day drivability.
