Good list...
Extra cooling hasn't been an issue for me (yet?), but I haven't had the car on the track in the summer yet...
LSD is a big priority for me, but I'll more than likely install one on my 335 while I have it.
DCT would be nice, but the 8SAT is really good, so I'm not missing DCT too much at the moment.
Probably the biggest pull for me to the M3 is the suspension. It remains to be seen though how much the 335 can be upgraded with M3 suspension parts (without investing a fortune) to yield similar handling.

In terms of power and speed, my 335 is plenty fast... and throttle response and turbo lag are OK (and can probably be better still with a few more tweaks). But the M3 will more than likely be an appreciable step up in these areas.
