Terrible answer. A car guy always educates. Op is right to be annoyed. Op has one of the greatest na 3 series motors ever (discounting m3) and this friend is disrespecting it with this nonsense. More important, the friend may be a cool guy whose cuz lied to him. A real friend won't let his 328 friend keep going around sounding like an idiot, ESP if the 328 guy doesn't know how dumb it sounds and how foolish he looks.

Set him str8 op.

True those are factory figures. But 335i and 335is are both under rated from the factory and actually make more

people who drive 328s always make up garbage because their engine is so weak

I have another friend that an 11' Accord can beat my 330i but thats another story! Hah

Im getting a BMS tune and magnaflow exhaust..I'm pretty sure I can haul ass with stock

a V6 accord has more HP than 330i and would probably give you a good run and I think even beat your 330i on a strait line. Race in the twisties is another story.

The OP has the same exact motor as his friend. Just a different intake mainfold and tune..
325,328,330=N52
335=n54 and now n55
335is=n54

Ahmad11 · 06-06-2011, 10:59 AM

Yea the V6 would be a good one..

Close 330 has valvetronic where the 325/328 do not I believe. Same basic block however.

All 3 cars do.. The US engine is exactly the same in all 3 vehicles. Only difference is the ECU tune and intake mainfold, that's it. Valvetronic and Double Vanos technology is in all three car models, since they have the EXACT same engine.

As long as you drive it below the 253.52 mph top speed limit...

It's hilarious how people overestimate how much power their cars actually make...

Nah, life's too short to argue with idiots. Do you really think that anything is going to convince this guy that his 328i doesn't have 280hp? so what's the point - an ego boost for the OP?

A few points. From what I've read, even adding the BMW Performance intake and exhaust to a 328 adds at best 15 HP. I'm sure there are other mods but making more power involves getting more air and fuel into an engine and this is ultimately limited by the size of the combustion chamber. I'm guessing BMW already does a very good job of optimizing fuel and air delivery.

Regarding 328, 330 changes...

-In 2006 the high performance 3 series was the 330i which in 2007 was replaced by the 335.

-Also in 2007, the 328 replaced the 325.

To add another fly to the ointment, the 528 makes 240 hp and 230 lb/ft of torque. I'm not sure the differences between the two.
