Also the 335 comes with an open diff, crap suspension, shit brakes and non performance wheels/tire... Yes you could replace those items, but why? In hopes to compete on some level with an M3? Should have got an M3.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but a fully modded 335i is in fact superior to a STOCK M3 (by a margin...) and not only in the straight line
Yes, you'll have a hard time to admit it, but there are a number of flaws even on the M3. At the track, every serious M3 owner has at least upgraded the suspension and the brakes (those are really a shame for a sports car, but this has been a problem for many M3 generations).
Obviously, modding is expensive, especially given the BMW tax some tuners charge.
