WE KNOW A TUNED 335 WILL BE FASTER AND POSSIBLY MORE RELIABLE!!! 
Right now, my car weighs 200-250lbs less than a 335. I know for a fact that my car is just as quick as a stock 335. Again, a tuned 335 is just as quick as an M3 so forget about it. I do know that all of my friends with 335s have had issues with injectors, HPFP and codes popping up. I have had none of these issues.
Again, it would cost me about $15,000 for me to switch to a 335 at this point. If I can get a supercharger for about $5,000 it's a major savings for me and I can keep my car. |

The notion that the 335i is faster than a 328i is not even a concern for me. Truth is the 328 or any variation of the n52 is more reliable than the n54 on the track. What good is faster (presumably most noticeable in the straights) if you can't complete a session of hot laps without going in limp mode?
Don't get me wrong, I think the n54 is a great motor but for some of us, there's a reason we prefer the n52 over the n54 (or have yet to "upgrade" to the n54).
