I’d go for the M5 or M8 GC. I have an M5. If you aren’t happy with a 540i, you probably won’t be much happier with a 340i even if it is an M340i. An M3 is a good choice if you don’t mind giving up low end power and don’t need a mid size car. They are great for modding — the S58 has a fantastic top end but the nearly 50% greater displacement of the M5/8 has more off boost torque and spools the turbos faster. I had an E90 M3 for 10 years before the M5 and was willing to trade some nimbleness for comfort.
