Sure it will. The C63 will suffer from what every other M-B is suffering from now: weight. A huge >6L V8 will only exacerbate the handling deficiencies of the platform. Sure, it'll kill the M3 in a straight line - but will the driver actually be having more fun? The answer to that question will be subjective opinion.

The block isnt the problem,its the stock turbos....There pretty much maxed out right now and the most some one will get is prolly just under 400whp.
I have no problems with the block.The e36 M3 that has an aluminum block and was made to be NA can make 700whp with just a head gasket.
The e46 M3 that everyone said was a high strung engine is now making over 600 whp without even opening up the block.
there are plenty of stock dynos of the 335's they make 280-290 ftlb and 260-270 whp in stock form
the s4 has nothing to do with a inline 6.The tuners on the s4 more than doubled the boost to make there gains and used the stock ecu.
the 335 is only getting 3.5 psi more than stock with a piggy back(way more flexibility than the stock ecu) and is tappering boost up top to keep them from blowing up like the s4s did.From 5k-7k the 335 drops boost down to 9 and then to 7 by redline.IM sure some kids will run them 14-15 psi all the way to redline but will greatly decrease the life of the turbos.

A stock 335 is neck to neck with an e46 M3 all the way to 90 ish and that is when the gearing of the M3 starts to pull a little bit.They are very under rated from the factory.
they trap 104-105 in the 1/4 mile and M3s trap 105-107
but once you chip the car forget it lol.

335i's are underrated at 300bhp. Stock they dyno ~270whp. IS350's dyno 260 - 265 and 350Z's put down 250 - 255whp. All cars leave the factory w/ roughly the same HP rating. Their crank ratings should be closer to 315 - 320bhp

well what about some 335s that put down 290 ftlbs 280whp?
e46 M3s put down 265-275whp and there rated at 333hp
