From what I've read from the dude in South Africa who mounted the M3 diff and had a Quaife previously, the M3 might be better under certain circumstances. I doubt however that unless you're a race or rallye driver you'll ever notice a significant difference as far as performance is concerned.

Thanks Marcel for this useful info! So now I can work on this mod with serenity.
Yes I did started this project reading the dude in South Africa thread (still waiting some mere pictures from him...)
Actually I have received the complete M3 subframe for 1600€ (including suspension, brakes and drive shaft), will be a direct bolt on except I need to make an adapter plate to match the M3 shaft to the 335I 6MT gearbox
Will open a thread in spring with a lot of pictures... now it is too cold to work on the car -10°C
