IIRC the M3 wheel offsets are different from the 335 so the entire suspension geometry is different, so no, probably not a good idea. The guys who track their cars may have some real world experience playing with alignments...

Since you lowered your vehicle and have aftermarket rims, your suspension geomery has altered and the factory specs may not be the most optimum setting.

I'll forward your question to our alignment specialist and see what he suggest.

I've talked to one of technicians and he stated that the M3's actually have different suspension components and suspension geometry than the 335i's; therefore, he recommends staying with the 335i specs.
