...I agree man, modded 335s putting down 300+ft lbs of torque at the wheels is going to feel faster than the M3 until that V8 hits the last 2000 rpms, where the most hp is.
I think BMW should have made a bespoke inline TT 6 for the new M3 (better pistons, more boost, etc).
I-6s are inherently torque-rich, perfectly balanced (1/2 of a v12), and if they got 400 hp from it, you better believe that it would be putting down at least that much torque therefore smoking this new V8.
And for the record, Alpina did a mild version of what I just described above in their B3.
Horsepower is great, but torque-rich cars more represent the luxury/sport segment.
