You are exactly correct. My mistake. I have NOT driven the G20 M340i. I have driven the poverty-spec G20 330i quite often. And it is based on a comparison of that architecture with the f30/31 generation that I shared my impressions about the evolution of the platform.
But you are right- I have no basis to compare a g20 M340 with the g42 M240i. Considering the shared mechanicals, I'm sure your car is great.
Regarding the impact of wheelbase on the character of the car- that is tough. I mean, the M2C feels a lot more different than the g80/82 M3/4 than it should considering the specifications.
So I don't know. Perhaps we exaggerate the differences because that is what we read from reviews- or perhaps the shorter car just rotates much better.
