my thoughts

Great comments.
I presently own both
08 335 with jb+ on V1 coilovers
05 m3 no mods
Both have Pilot super sports...

m3 is a german muscle car and and has better handling, as for acceleration the 335 feels much faster but when you look in the rear view mirror the m3 seems just as fast. This due to the low end 335 torque and the m3 8K redline.

The 335 is a great all around car but the m3 has a soul and character that puts a grin on my face every time.

I also own a 15 porsche boxter GTS (control) which is what I am comparing the cars to

In the end it depends on if you want to deal with a rougher car (m3's engine and suspension) or a all around master of none car.
FYI the LSD on the m3 is much more confidence inspiring around turns and at high speeds

grab one before they go up in price like the e36 m3 did...
good luck..
