Flame suit on but the m3's v8 has been a no-go for me since forever. Sounds orgasmic, but getting owned by otherwise stock tuned 335i is never going to feel good.

True, the handling does not feel anywhere close to an m3 though even with coilovers, but spending $1k on control arms, sway bars and subframe bushings will make it come real close. Either way, how many of us track our cars enough to make use of the handling superiority?

300hp/300torque stock, 360/380 with just a $100 tune, 400+/420 with tune, exhaust, DP and intake that can all be had for less than $1000.

HPFP and water pumps are the main issues with the car, but after 2 years of owning a now 6 year old car, I've never had to bring my car in.
It's like that with every car, some people are just unlucky and end up with a lemon.

Don't get me wrong, I'm bored of the e92 335i already but it's because of the weakass looking fenders, boring hood and dated angel eyes.

Yeah, you can't compare a non-M to an M but I think for the e9x generation you can. The F8x M3/M4's are just insane, now for THOSE you can't compare.
