And I agree on the n52, that's pretty much the direction I'm going with my car minus the headers. So far I have full suspension, track pads, minor weight savings and will have the AA tune shortly but right now I have no problem keeping up with tuned 335's on a road course.
3ers are a LOT more boat-like that Z4/1ers
how do you fare against 1ers?
.. quick google says a Z4 has similar power and weight to the respective 1 series equivalents (135 and 130 for N54 and N52) so pretty similar i'd guess

1415kg weight and same power outputs... a stock N52 Z4 or 130i should keep up with a 335i without issue in a straight line let alone around a corner (re: leave in dust), the 335i's stock really aren't that impresive, it's the tune and other mods that gets you haha.
