Turbo powa... you won't get the power increase on the M like you do the 335i with just a chip. I have an 08. The Vishnu V3 with DP's, intakes and exhaust is pretty insane. Those mods will take down an M3 and not break the bank.
Just hope you don't encounter a turn. Or a rollback may be taking that 335i down. U can mod a 335i til you're broke, but it'll never be an ///M no matter how badly the owner wants it to be.

Not sure on the CE, but Rays did had 19x10.5 +25 on the TE for E46 M3 rear offset few years ago...

When I bought my set of TE37 for my E46 M3 last year, on Rays website really dont show the 10.5 offset for M3 either, but when called up to Mackin or Rays Japan they had the offset for me ...

Yeah, because it's impossible to make a slower car faster than a car that is fast at purchase. It's not like anyone has ever made a non M Bimmer faster than its M counterpart....Or an S2000 that's faster than Porsches, or a Civic that is faster than mustangs...

the M is just a label, he bought what made him happy. There is no reason to harass him for it.

Theoretically if built to same spec (tires, weight, peak power, sus geometry) the M should be faster in an outright lap (quali), but the 335 should have an advantage in race conditions due to the massive torque advantage.

Yeah it has a solid axle rear end and skinny's up front. If I really cared that much about having an M3 I would have saved a little longer and bought an M3. Congrats on making a worthless post. Provide some facts if you want to talk shit. Looks like a lot of other cars are going to need a rollback by these numbers if they decide to turn. Man I hate having shitty suspension.

so hostel.

335i will never be a m3.

m3 will never have 335is power potential

but with the warranty getting more strict on chipped 135/335, i don't know how many more people are going to void their warranty just for the chip. (although i would lol)

335i just needs a lsd and a kit and it'll be grand.

Without a doubt! In the end, I truly don't care what anyone drives. Was just bustin' some balls. Roll in whatever you want or can afford. If you're happy, then I'm happy for you.

And make no mistake about it, they are DYING to have ANY reason to void a warranty lately. My stealership won't even let me put an exhaust on my car.
