The boy-toy M2 is a more fair comparison. The 340i is a fun weekend sedan warrior.

Power/Curb Weight
340iX - 320hp/3710 = .086 HP per lb
R - 306hp/3117 = .098 HP per lb

12% less power to weight on a 340iX, it's not winning anywhere.

Do you track on stage 1 or revert back to stock?

Stage 1 all the time. Comfort throttle in Dynamic or DSC off.
