yes i do like mate has a CI coupe and they are very slick great power plants in them very torquey and good midrange punch

i would have one performance is supurb although i think the couple is marginally quicker due to the weight of tha cab

Loverly car, i wouldn't buy an M3 cos its alot more money than a 3.30 for not alot of extra speed. I really want a 3 series convertible (even if its a 3.18)

Im sorry but thats crap, the 330 may be cheaper but performance IS comprimised.

0 - 60 of an E46 M3 is around 5.5seconds

an E46 330ci sport will take about 7 seconds

in gear times are loads different too!

330 ci is mid 6's to 60mph iirc.

The performance is alot different in real terms.

I'd have either tho

Personally I dont, if your spending out 10's of thousands of pounds on a top of the range BMW you buy an M3

If you want it just for looks then you get a 318

the 330ci just has no place IMO

EVO mag officially timed in real life conditions. 330i (heavier saloon) 0-60 in 5.9. Not bad IMO.

really! flippin ell, thats a whole second off the book time and 0.4 behind an M3

cover-up to stop the M3 looking slow maybe?

I suspect the M3 is also quicker than the book time.

I read an explanation of this on a Porsche board a while back. Apparently Porsche book figures are WAY out, especially for the 991 Turbo and GT3.

Alot of 0-60 figures are timed with a full load, ie half tank of fuel, passengers, luggage etc.

I know this is how VW get their figures.

yeah I know factory figures are to be taken with a pinch of salt, but a whole second on such a performance car seems very extreme to me.

A friend had his E36 Evo GPS timed and nearly all the acceleration figures matched what the book said. was just braking distances that were inaccurate
