i was strictly talking about a e9X m3 to a e9X 335... no one with a e9x M3 will wish they had gotten a e9X 335 instead

dump $5k into what? a big turbo setup so u can out run a m3 in a straight line n cant turn for shit? or into a nice set of coilovers along with some bushings only to have the torque of the turbo motor end up burning out the inside tires in corners because of the open rear diff? what about the other issues that the n54/n55 platform face? the turbo motor does not take heat well, bmw themselves added external oil coolers for their "factory tune" n ppl r finding even with the external oil cooler added, its still inadequate on the track... n this is all with stock hardware. then theres the direct injection issue with carbon build up...
he already made it clear hes not interested in non m cars, so stop trying to shove it down his throat about a 335's "potential" to beat a e46 M3 when OP was looking at a e9X M3
