In the end, I'd have roughly a 350RWHP (chip, FMIC, BOV, DPs, etc.) 3300lb car for about $12,000. I could get an E36 stripped down to maybe 2900lbs but getting the same power to weight ratio would cost me more. On top of that, an E36 M3 would set me back $10-15K. Doubt I could get a non M car to have the same power to weight ratio as the modded 335 at any price.

are you going to strip down the 335? if so, i wonder what weight you could get it down to. it's something i might be interested in doing a couple years down the road when i get a new car, i plan on keeping the 335 and eventually turning it into a track only car as well.
if you can do all that for only $12k i'd say go for it, i would just put some money aside for any problems you might run into and maintenance costs. but if you got a buddy to do labor for ya, or have a shop of your own, it might not be too bad
