Even a 320 these days is an "excessive" commuter car that will burn a Camry.

Exactly. Before owning one, I thought the 335 or 340 can be turned into an M3 with a tune, LSD, updated brakes, etc. and in the end, you can put in $25k and it is not going to be an M. It may be faster, louder, even wider, but to get the same pieces work together, same drivetrain, same transmission, engine, etc., it will take A LOT more $$ than mentioned above.
As you mentioned in previous post, both are awesome cars and waaaayyy overkill for the daily commute purpose. But they put a big smile on our faces.
Similarly as C43 AMG is not an AMG, the M340/M240/M550 serve the same purpose within the lineup.
