I think the M3 will still be faster. It seems that BMW are probably even more conservative with the power ratings of the M cars. Based on the numbers I've seen, even though the E90 330 has more HP than an E36 M3 (255 vs. 240), the E36 M3 is still faster.

The 335 will have incredible performance, but I don't think BMW will allow a "regular" model exceed the capabilities of thier M car so soon.
