Back story, long time BMW guy, went from a 335i daily with a race/frankencar - E36+S50+CO's+cage+fire system+et al - to a E90 M3.
E90 was stout, but also had 65K miles, and after 3 events at COTA started to get a ton lifter rattle and smoke out of the exhaust on cold start.
Given my wife hated the M3, I thought I'd try a 340i a a stop-gap, it was still fast and much softer sprung. BIG MISTAKE.
First event at COTA on the 340i, it was immediately obvious that it's no M-car. Pushed like crap - even running a square set up at 255 on all for corners - simply didn't like to turn in...period.
Net is, I ended up eating about 6K in cash to get into the F80 ZCP. It hurt, but man, I'm not looking back. Happy as you could be now!

Plenty of other guys can track a 340 without any problems. Maybe you should ask why its only you.
