True, it's all about the driver and I'm sure a seasoned track rat could do more with a 340i than a total amateur like me could do with my M3, but that's not what this thread is about. As far as value outside of warranty, that's also not what this thread is about. If anything, the stock M3 still under warranty will still outperform many modded 340i's, which run the risk of voiding the warranty on it's many modded components.
Add to this the fact that even a conservative JB4 tune on an M3/4 will send it even beyond what a heavily modded 340i with thousands of dollars in upgrades will do in the hands of a skilled driver.
