What is the difference between 325 and 330

JaseR5GTT 3 posts months. Hi, Ive an E92 08 i and am looking into the manifold swap and remap. Has anyone on this forum done this mod with success? If they did, have you the dyno map to hand to share, id be very interested to see it. Also, what are the fundamental differences with the two manifolds? It took 6. But look beyond these oft-quoted benchmarks for the real poop. For example, in the 5-mph street start, where the engine has to start pulling from low revs, the i bested the old model by a full half-second.

The drei-liter was nearly a second quicker in top-gear acceleration runs from 30 to 50 mph, another test of low- and midrange torque. It was a full second faster to mph, taking just Lows: Softening up the steering for "tough" parking jobs diminishes the breed. Before you start bleating about gear ratios, be aware that the six cogs that matter including the one in the back are identical to those found in a i.

Keisters may deceive, but Datrons don't, and ours says the i offers more usable street-level power. That makes the E46's status as King of the Teutons more secure than ever.

The i's performance destroys that of the last A4 2. In our "Bavarian Burners" comparo in November , the Audi ran to 60 mph in 7. Its braking and skidpad numbers were slightly poorer, too, although an Audi costs substantially less than the new BMW a base A4 2. Equipped with an automatic the five-speed is only available in the C, which we haven't tested yet , the Mercedes ran to 60 mph in a creampuff 7.

To mph, the BMW is 3. To be fair, the transmissions should be identical, but Mercedes refuses to send a manual C to the U. By the way, for BMW has knocked clams off the model-year price of the Sport package and thrown in the narrow-spoke alloy wheels and larger section Z-rated rear tires that were only available on the two-door last year.

If you want performance, you get a break; if you want luxury, you pay. What's the problem? Hmm, let's see, a BMW 3-series with more power. Yes, I like that just fine. User Name. Mark Forums Read.

Right now it's all about top down, wind in my hair! The search continues. Did they make a ZHP vert? As a general rule, the base car has the brushed "aluminum" plastic trim; the Premium package adds the "wood" trim veneer ; the ZHP package supersedes that with Cube trim that's slightly reminiscent of carbon fiber, in either black or silver.

Different interior trim options could be selected when the car was ordered, but unless otherwise specified, that's what you got. Don't be afraid to search outside your immediate vicinity - in fact, you'll probably have to, for something relatively rare like a ZHP convertible.

If you find one that's far away, post in the regional forums for a local member who might be willing to check it out for you. Originally Posted by tdz I was very recently in the same boat as you.

Shopping for an E I test drove several 's. Some of them had beautiful interiors and exteriors but in all honesty underwhelmed me a little when i put my foot on the gas. The xi was particularly sluggish. I wouldn't necessarily describe it as a dog but it was close.
