On the freeways, it's still great power. I don't know why people complain about power and all, but heck last i check the highest speed limit in the country is 75 on interstates. And a hybrid car can do that easy, surely a i6 shouldn't be having problems in that field.

Agreed, my 325i had plenty of power for me, and that's why I'm "only" looking for an E92 328i and not a 335i. The majority of my driving is on pothole laden roads on which I wouldn't want to speed.

+1,000. However in the case that I accidentally pull out in front of someone, power isn't a bad thing.
Not that I've ever done that or anything.
