IMO the 335 has more potential than the M3 by a long shot untill you get to the point of built motors.
Since the 335 is built for boost its going to be much more feasable to increase power. The NA motors on the other hand are so well rounded and so efficient to start with that its hard to get too much more out of them. Getting 50 WHP more from even the new V8 M is not going to be nearly as simply as an intake, TBE, and tune.
So untill one gets to the point of custom shortblocks and very involved management systems, the 335 is probably the superior vehicle for modding.
Nice kill OP.

Nice kill!
I haven't seen the 335 yet (gonna hit up their website after this post), but if it's built for the twin turbo setup and it's seeing those kinds of increases from basically tuning...sounds like some healthy competition .
On a side note, those M3s may have small V8s, but they look BADASS IMO.

^They do for sure. My next project very well could be an old E36 (90s model years) 3 series Bimmer with an LSX. They just look right. Aggresive, but not shouting out to the heavens. Kinda classy and subtle. I like that. The new ones are a bit too much for me, but they still look good. Except the 7 series. Yikes.
The 335 looks longer and sleeker than the rest IMO. Tail lights a little overdone, but not bad.
I think they will be good competition on a bolt ons level. Which is nice considering that not much in that price range is really.

Those are nice cars. A guy on SVT has a neighbor who just bought one for his 16yr old kid who just died a week ago racing it in CA. I believe.
