1) price expectations for the job (all inclusive)
lots. I dunno. who's doing the work?
2) is an M3 conversion just too complicated?
depends on who is doing the work.
3) any gotchas or things to be aware of going in
expensive fuel lines - you'll need high pressure for feed.

As I recall, the 3.3 and 3.5 motor hp ratings only differ by 1 hp, but the 3.5 has a good bit more torque. Will you keep the stock diff? Will you use 5-speed OD trans? How do you drive? What's your mental demand of the resulting car?

You need to provide much more info for anyone to comment reliably, but the 3.3 and 3.5 owners like what they have though they don't say what they paid.
