I think the whole point of the 325 / 330 discussion is that the performance of the 2 vehicles is not well differentiated as BMW would like hence the new 335i (although I think the idea of a turbo engine is a cop out).

You argument is also valid but then I don't have a 330 on order do I so I don't like it . I am satisfied that 20bhp more at the wheels (330 step vs 325 man) is going to be mostly offset by less weight and lower gearing
