That's impressive; however, a standard 340i 8AT is a low 13 second at 108mph car. 4mph in the 1/4 mile is a pretty steady walk.
To make sure we're doing apples to apples:

Model 3 LR RWD - 265hp
Model 3 LR AWD - 356hp
Model 3 LR AWD Performance - 450hp.

Or:

LR RWD <-> 330i
LR AWD <-> 340i
LR Performance <-> M3

Considering the deliveries of LR AWD non-P started just a couple of weeks ago, you were probably seeing an RWD, which is not a match for 340i in any way.
