Just wanted to point out that many people have 335i's with every bolt on possible.
For example I have a DME 80, no progman 29.2 and Forge DV's complete catless DP's and exhaust with JB3 and intake and custom Kandy Apple Brembos 6 piston 380 mm up front and 4 piston in back with KW v2's and on and on and on. What is my point huh? Well it dynos slightly over 400 rwhp on 100 octane and we all can agree there is at least a 15% drive train loss on a 6AT. That comes to 470+ hp under the hood. There is no reason why a 335i to the max cannot beat an M6.
However, with that said, I have seen an M5 (same engine as M6) also tuned to the max rip a 335i that was tuned to the max. In fact it was so bad the 335i looked stock. So to each their own but not all tuning is equalt and there are many different versions of fast 335i's.
PS M6 is not slow. Unless you have owned a GT2 or Ferrari or R1 there are only a few cars stock that are faster. Nothing slow about 500HP.
