It's your car, so your tastes will differ from ours so it will be hard to give you a direction on which 'kit' to purchase.

My opinion is that the 335 and M3 look great as is and do not need a body kit. That being said, perhaps you can upgrade the 335 to an M3/Mtech front or add an Aero Lip.

If you do decide to go with a full kit, I would not recommend a fiberglass kit. It anything go urethane.

its just that there is alot of prepwork on fiberglass to get fitment right, and ussually they do not have whole drilled, and its a bit heavier i believe.
basically the cost of the prepwork will negate the difference in price of the Poly eurothene or polypropylene equivalent.

I don't think fiberglass is as flexible as polyurethane.
