That said, you might as well say that both cars are on the BMW platform or that both cars are on the car platform.

They're totally different cars stock, period, case closed. Your mods then make your car even more different.

The bottom line is that you don't own an M3. If that fact didn't concern you, you wouldn't be here trying to convince everyone you sorta do.

Compare stats if you like, but your car is not an M3 and never will be - get cool with that, like I'm cool with the fact that none of these track hounds respect my e93 DCT.
It is true that M3 owners rarely, if ever, go to 335 forums to justify their purchases. However, many 335 owners do that very thing. Seems to me that they are trying to convince others that their car is "just" as good when modified (read, no warranty) because they worry about it for some reason. It isn't an M3 and that is OK... no need to prove anything.
