Had an opportunity to test drive the G20 M340i, and it was a beast. Better in every way than my old F80. Steering, torque, sound, handling, etc.

What does that suggest? That the next M3 will be even more spectacular.

As M technology drifts down to "regular" BMWs, including M "performance" cars, that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned.
You must have been driving your M3 in traffic jams the whole time.
While M340i is nice car - it doesn’t compare to F80 M3 in any way except putting power down in Xdrive form. M3 is better in every other way. BTW as good as the B58 is the S55 is much more explosive and higher revving.

I have both engines in my disposal with 2018 M3 Comp and 2020 X3 M40i.
