I was thinking myself. What is easier or more economical. A 335i with bolts ons and suspension changes, sway bars and LSD or an M3 with an Engine transplant. Probably the former.

You get very different opinions of this topic on M3 sites where it always seems to be 'Only an M is an M car.'

I've not driven an M3 yet but I think I will. I'll be open minded but hope I don't then get the urge to want to swap. Still I think I'd hold out for the TT M4 as NA is old tech. I couldn't go back to that. They take too long to wind up and the fuel economy is dire.

I don't doubt a stock M3 handles far better than a standard 335i but then unless you've paid for the adjustable suspension you probably suffer on the daily commute alot which makes up most of my driving time.
