You gotta be more clever than than.

You have obviously driven an E46 M3 and you own an E36 M3. The 335i simply has NO sporty soul to it's drive. You can certainly improve its performance with the components you list but will it even feel anywhere close to an E46 M3 let alone what we suspect and E92 M3 will feel like??? You are going to end up with a nice car and fast car but if you want a real sporty feel, and FEEL is your top priority - a fun and inspiring drive - I think you will clearly fail.
