The M340i is to 3 series as the M550i is to the 5 series.

Both models are based on the Cluster Architecture (CLAR) platform. That doesn't mean the 3-series is just a smaller version of the 5-series.
For example, the front suspensions are a totally different designs. 5-series has a wishbone setup, 3-series a variation based on the MacPherson strut.
