I said that in regard to those discrediting the Alpina. It is a better choice than a 335i if you can get it. No tuned 335i will be better than the Alpina, so let alone comparing 335i to M3. (taking about F30/F80)
With a warranty, of course..... no tuned 335i will be better, but you'll get a lot of people who will tell you they can achieve all the performance improvements for 1/2 of the cost of the Alpina.

Intercooler + downpipe + tune will get you pretty close to the horsepower numbers seen, and can be done for what, $3000 or so installed. Add a few more thousand for upgraded suspension and a limited slip diff, and you're pretty close to the total package.
