As far I read you need
M3 diff, whole side drive shafts, many times I read about M3 sub-frame, is tis necessary? I think this is only to upgrade suspension or you need it for different bolts pattern for M3 diff?

The 740i shaft bolts up to to the M3 diff flange, so basically you hack the 335i shaft into two (along with the 740i shaft) and weld the front half of the 335i shaft to the rear of the 740i shaft.
Obviously this needs to be done by a drivetrain specialist, then after welding the shaft is balanced.
You need the m3 half shafts also, but I believe the M3 diff bolts into the non m3 subframe (its best if you can get the m3 subframe as most wreckers let them go for a small price and it has upgraded bushes)
