Looking round at 330i times for 1/4 mile most are at 14.3 seconds for the older car, which was also .5 seconds slower to 60mph, so I would expect .8 seconds off the 1/4 mile from older car to newer one?? Even if you just knock the .5 seconds off then it is sub 14 seconds.
As I say, not much in it, not enough to loose sleep over and you have the fun of it being petrol, I would easily loose a second of 1/4 mile for that.

thats in the USA Mate all cars run quicker there!!
a 258bhp 330i in the uk runs late 14's a 272bhp one will run mid 14's both UNDER 100MPH and take 15 odd seconds to to 100mph
the stock 335d is doing 100mph in 13's
Would a 330i live with M3 on the drag strip.... NO!!
335d does lol
a stock e9x 330i will NEVER break into the 13's mate over the quarter in the UK.
