So X3M comp vs M40i, his will be similar for new M3 vs M340i

X3M:
cost difference $15,000 (similar options, that are available on M40i)
30% more HP (503 vs 382)
21% more torque (442 vs 365)

Now if you compare the X5M comp to M50i:
cost difference will be about $25,000 (similar options)
18% more HP (617 vs 523)
0% more torque


not comparing X3M to X5M here, just saying for $25K doesn't feel like you are getting a whole lot extra here (compared to $15K more what the X3M gets you). And I know its more than just power, but the X3M also upgrades a lot of that (including seats and leather quality you can't get in M40i), the X5 M50i does let you get upgraded leather, leather dash, a lot of M performance options as well and still $25K less expensive.
