Maybe with your "professional mechanical expertise" you could do all those "mods" in an hour or so.

But since you are offering, please go through the parts list and show us piece by piece how identical the M3 is to a basic 3 series.


Look at it this way :

Consider the serb/bosnian conflict...

As an outsider, both of the peoples seem essentially identical.
If you walked in there, you wouldn't be able to tell one apart from the other.

But if you're a local, you can look down the street, and point out every person from one side or the other.



It's kind of the same way with the 335 and the M3.

Within the 'BMW family', they're so different.
But if you zoom out and take a broader view, they're practically the same thing.


The difference in perspective means that the same/different argument will always be at an impasse.
