It's applicable to this discussion because people are ASSUMING the bump in power can be handled by the transmission of the 325 because it's the same transmission as the 330. That is an incorrect assumption.
Hmmm...

I made a quick comparison in realOEM.com and it looks to me that 325i and 330i are sharing the same tranny. However the torque converter seems to be different, probably because 325i and 330i have different gear ratios in their differentials ?

Here's two links to realOEM.com
