I don't know, but I do know that I personally would not want to do engine mods on a car costing as much as the 335 does. I would rather have a fully warranted, factory-tuned M3 than a 335 that may even be faster or better in some ways. I do not want the worry of wondering whether I will have to buy a new motor at some point because I have no warranty. I also do not want to deal with a possibly temperamental tuned car.

For those that do not care about the same issues, more power to you and good luck with your car.
I'm not one of the typical 335i owners. I luv mine but have not modded it at all, pure and simple its a carry thru till the M3 comes out. If it was out today, and they were taking orders I would put the money down. I just am afraid I will get in it and instead of being blown away, I will be "wow this is nice" but not that blow you away feeling I got when I first got in an E46 M3, especially after riding in a 330ci with sport pkg and everything. Thats all. But the warrantied engine is a great point, biggest reason I haven't touched my 335i.

Thanks for your input
