Some of you guys with the 340i need to get to go make a video with a race with 335i mppk to see what the difference is due to the elimination of lag.

I am not trying to undermine the 340i. I was referring to an objective comparison rather than "feels faster". The 340i may feel faster for sure but is it that fast in real world compared to a stock 335i?
Additionally, the 335i engine is so refined and smooth that the driver does not even feel the pull of the car but if you look down you might be doing 70-80 mph.

"The steering, for its part, wasn’t detailed any more beyond BMW saying it was more “refined,” and without a 335i on hand for comparison, it was difficult to tell if there was any substantial improvement, and the steering alterations seem to be little more than incremental. But the 340i comes across as eager to play, and the steering feels precise and responsive, if a bit too heavy."
