Sorry but you did not give a simple answer, coil overs, sway bars, wheels and tires still won't make a 335 handle better than an M3, and honestly, unless some serious testing and setup is made to your aftermarket suspension parts they usually make cars handle worse.

If BMW could have, they would have just left the E90/92/93 chassis alone and changed only springs, shocks, sway bars, and wheels and tires to achieve the handling improvement for the M3. The R&D to re-engineerall of the components cost a lot of money, and if they could have achieved their goal with only a few parts they would have. All the time they spend on the ring with the M cars is for good reason, to test, re-engineer, re-test, re-engineer and so it goes on until they have every bushing, arm, link, etc. dialled in!
