Planning to get a JB3 so said SSTT is for sale, just contact me, £200

Finnie: The car is an absolute credit to you mate !

Some extra pics, showing the whole of the car would be nice; just so`s we can letch at it............

Beautiful mate, and sounds like a proper weapon for the road.

Aftermarket LSD would make the 335 closer to M3s on track...

The M3 is by far a superior car.....if money is no object! Initial purchasing price, fuel costs and tuning mods can be very expensive for an M.

Yes you can tune a 335 to be quicker than an M3 in a straight line but driving the M is a whole different story. When the 335's are highly tuned, driving them greatly reminds me of the old 2002 Turbo's.....a lot of power going down to the rear makes the front end feel extremely light and loose. The M is designed to hold down its power and it does so very well!

The 335i = The poor mans M3

Sorry to say it guys but that's my opinion and I own a 335i

I would say a e36 m3 is a poor mans M3 myself.

How come you went for the 335i? I expect with all the mods you have carried out you could have easily afforded a M3?

Mods were done over time, didn't initially have all the cash at once to afford an M......Plus all the mods weren't really that much money

Don't get me wrong the 335i is an incredible car, I love it to pieces but there's no comparison.

I am hoping my next one will be an M3!

I love the M3 and everything about it, should have come out the factory with 460+bhp though.

An m6 for 35k caNNOT be ignored though.

The M3's that come out of the Racing Dynamics / RDSport facilities leave with 530bhp!

?? An E36 M3 is still an M3 while a 335i is not an "M" car.

So how can an M3 be a poor mans M3?
