A tuned or modified 335 does but how about going up against a tuned & modified M3. Spend $25k on a M3 and you got a 520 - 535 HP rocket that you can drive round all day. Don't think your 335's motor would last long when your pushing that boost up.

And who would want to buy a secondhand 335 that's had the s**t kicked out of it. Also, having to bring it back to standard everytime you take it for service so you don't loose your warranty.
What makes you think the M3 motor would last with 520-535HP? Also look at what you just wrote..."Spend $25k more on a M3". The benefit of already having a FI engine is it'll cost $8k-$10k to make that power and have a hell of a lot more torque. The engine was engineered to handle boost. Will there be something that fails? We'll see.
