M3 rear and front suspension on 335is

Hello guys, today I became a proud owner of 2011 335is n54 for $4400 from auction of course. Car has only bolt on damage (bumper,hood,lights). I owned 2007 335i in the past and absolutely loved it. But now that I got 335is for so cheap I want to mod it with m3 suspension setup jb4 and so on. I tried googling for info but did not find much luck.
Can anyone tell me which M3 parts I need to put it on 335is? I know about the following.

Front.
M3 control arms



Rear.
M3 diff
M3 left and right axle shafts.

If anyone could add it up you would make my day. Thank you!

You'll find everything you need to know at e90post.com or 1addicts.com. There are various levels of conversion. Most parts are simple bolt-ons, however some parts, require additional parts from the M3. For example, the rear struts on the M3 and 335i use a different connection to the camber arm, so if you change to the M3 camber arm, then you have to change struts. Similar issue with the differential and drive shaft connection.

Does the 335i have electronically adjustible dampers, or (if not) the hardware and wiring to support this system?

This^^. Not to be a turd, but you are likely not going to find many of us M3 owners doing much with 335's.....

The front four control arms are a common swap, the diff fits but you’ll need modify the 335i driveshaft to accommodate the size difference and also the input on the diff flange.

Fully accepting turd status, but Cars.com should be able to help you sell the 335 and buy the M3.

Yeah, I really don't see the point of doing all that work on a 335 and then you still have a 335....
