BMW M340i Hillclimb - Do we still need the M3? Is this better than the M4? / YS Khong Driving.

With a 3.0 litre turbocharged engine, obviously choked down to 382 horsepower, and AWD, is this machine a huge mistake by BMW?
With AWD and endless possibilities for upgrading, I see this machine being a viable alternative to the M3 and the M4.
I enjoyed this car, tremendously - Thanks BMW!

Hats down for this Gentleman, I just bought m340i here in Switzerland and can't wait for some fun in the mountains. I had F30 328i xDrive before so I got used to those 245hp. But this car is somewhere else, my dream came true and as I could see on your face reacting to those slight drifts, I was smiling with you. Dont forget to drive with prediction guys! Cheers ;)

@@YSKhongDriving Actually the term unorthordox I meant, when I watch all your Genting climb drive videos, rarely seeing you overtakes from inside on motorbikes. But you did twice by giving a lot of space indeed but probably the first biker got scared with tire squealing sound. But uncle as ususal I enjoyed watching in large screen on how you attack corners with this Beemer. Brilliant uncle as usual.
