Also from what I've read you're not going to get close to 400whp in a 335 without upgrading the turbos. You can safely achieve that with a turbo kit on the M3 running very low boost (4-5psi). So modding costs wont be too different and certainly wont be enough to justify paying $7-10 more for the 335.

The 335 is a great car, but it'll be a couple of years before I'd take one over a E46 M3.
OK here is a little lesson.


2011+ 335i has a single Turbo which produces 300hp. The ones before made 320 HP. They have the same engine as the new 335is or m1. You can get 400whp+ without changing turbos.
