Here is some drag time info on it. Looks like it is slightly slower then a C55 and a C32.

torque comes in under 2k (all of it) and stays on until close to 5k rpms.
By the way, I'm only have and will refer to a C32 vs 335i. C55 traps higher.
however as you know.. it will be a matter of time, when these cars will hit high 12's at about 109+

my opinion
Is that the new M3 will get its *** kicked stock wise from a modified 335. 3 series have a ton of tuners that can get the suspension brakes aerodynamics, weight etc etc of the 335 into M3 territory. Then you have the engine which is going to be the angel of the mod community. This engine will almost definitely be cheaper and easier to modify than the new V8 that comes out in the new M3.
Price wise ... obviously a fully modified 335 (still stock motor) is going to be more expensive than a new stock M3. But if I had to choose ... I'd take the 335.
I can't image what is going to happen when someone fully builds that 335 motor for some much larger turbos or goes to a Single HUGE turbo.
Yeah yeah you can do the same for the new M3 ... its going to be a LOT more expensive. I should know I'm in that boat with the SLK55.

You are correct sir. The 335 is a BMW Supra, it will absolutely scream with a big single slapped on it. The major variable is how much boost the little beast can take before she detonates. But I have no doubt that people will be running around with 500hp examples of this thing by the springtime, and then we're all getting **** on.

My friend was telling me how these engines are prone to overheating?
He is a...BMW/MB/any other car hater except Audis, so I can't take his word because I have not read anything like that?

I always said the new tt BMWs were going to be awesome cars. I'm hoping my brother gets one for his 16th b-day next year so I can mod it for him, Lol.
And I wouldnt be suprised if the new M3 does a 0-60 in 4 flat if the 335 does it in 4.8. Of course, BMW will probably give it a 4.4 so it doesnt make the M5 look bad but it could hit 4 flat. With ECU, intake, an exhaust the new M3 will be a very hard car to beat (unless you throw on a giant turbo to the 335, then that will be the car to get)

Guys, you need to see this. They milked out 70whp on 91 octane gas with just an ECU tune.

OK OK... I should've said it more clearly.
Straight line... similar weight, similar curve bands (both hp & tq). Cars w/ higher tq & hp numbers will likely win, IMO, given similarly skilled driver.
W/ 340/340 on 335 vs. 300/310 on C55, I'm guessing 335 is at least as fast as C55. Once again, it's all on paper.... need to see repeated drag results.
I don't consider twisties.... even a stock civic w/ pro driver may beat me on C55. This means, driver's skill plays a lot bigger role in twisties that apple-to-apple engine power comparison becomes less possible.

I'm just messin' around, I just love reading replies 
The new 335i is amazing, especially with a chip. I can't wait a few more years down the line until the 63AMG engines come full force with turbos (or so I've heard).

Of course, in both cases, there's the hidden cost of forfeiting warranty coverage for drivetrain failures, unless the tuner provides a warranty.

Turbo- Super- charged engines are always a breeze to pump up IF (and that's a big if) there is a dedicated tuner base willing to hack the computers to make it work. There will always be more tuners working on BMWs and Audis because the likely customer base (youthful cranks with money) will be larger. Lots of tuners and lots of buyers means cheap upgrades. You can buy 60HP for $400 with an Audi S4, and to match that in a Benz C32 you need to spend 10X that amount.

Dinan for some reason seems to be lagging with software. They still to not have anything for the valvetronic motors...Evotech have got 20+hp from the NA 325i motor!
