323 is a detuned 2.5 S6... probably makes aorund 190-200bhp so 7.7 sounds about right

The 328's in the e36's only made 200 bhp, not sure if they developed a completely different engine in the e46's though.

Not sure they even made a 323/328 E46 did they? I thought by the E46s they were 318, 320, 325, 330 
I assumed we were talking E36s

They stopped making them before the facelift (the new front likes face lift changing you mean)? The 328 may have been replaced by the 330ci

Yeah front face lifts... and yeah your probs right as the 328 figures match the 330 it would seem

No idea, the current 335's are around 300 amd the 325s are 200 so would make sense to have a mid-range
I ahd meant as in the 330 and 328 match up in temrs of spec and figures for it to have replaced, not just a name change like
