i would also think the 335i (especially xi version) would be better from a standing start as well.

it's not hard to figure out why either. a modded e46 m3 is going to have way more hp at higher RPMs (and a higher redline) than a modded 335i.

the 335i definetely will have more torque at an earlier RPM (500lb/ft at flywheel @ 2300RPM is possible), so it really should win the battle early, only to be killed once the M gets into its powerband.

just my thoughts
