Yeah you're right, I recall now that the HP difference I remember him talking about was the difference between a 325 and 330.

My mom kept *****ing that she didn't want to spend the extra $$ for the 330. But then she drove it and felt the extra power and never complained after that, haha.

Some 1/4mi times from E46s (new gen 3 series). Looks like some stock 325s (2.5L) are hitting 15s, and stock 330s (3.0L) are hitting high 14s

those aren't impressive numbers considering a 330 will be in 40s when you add up everything.

The 330i can hold its own, maybe even out run a stock WRX. My dad can kick my *** in his, but he also has about 33 or so years driving experience on me. He's got the sport package too, stiffer suspension and some more hp, among other things.
i still wanna race/drive with yer dad at t-hill
man that's be a blast
