I've has similar thoughts. I could definitely see an ///M340i eventually replacing the 335i model rather than sitting above it. Will it happen this generation? I kind of doubt it. I think they'll probably offer both (assuming that the ///M340i does materialize, as is speculated). But for a future generation, who knows.

I see the 340i (or whatever they'll call it) as being the new 335. That would be great for our 6cyl fans on here. ..minus the obligatory price hike of course.
