Wrt the 35 only, stock to stock with equal drivers a 335i won't touch a C6.
But modded 335's have hit 11.7s and 11.8s @ 117-120. They can be very fast.
You can get M5's in the $40s. And please don't use the price argument, it's what ricers use (i.e., SRT4 owner saying a C6 costs twice as much and has twice as much HP).
Also, M5's and M6s are IMO nicer cars overall than Corvettes, which is why they cost more. They may have 100 more HP but they also weigh 800 lbs more but are still very fast. There are other cars I would own before a M5 or M6 (AKA porsche) but they are great cars and deserve respect.

Is the SRT-4 really a ricer car? 
The price argument is really a valid argument whether you believe it or not. Sure a Veyron would smoke a Z06 in a straight line, but price price price.
