kingkarl 136 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 Hi Wikipedia has truckloads of performance statistics for most cars. 225 bhp (168 kW; 228 PS) (290 N·m) 0-100km/h 6.3 s I'm guessing that 0-100 time would be for manual 330's. Probably safe to add a few tenths for an auto. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
my_e36 43 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 That's the US Spec, the difference is mainly due to fuel and emission spec. NZ Spec - 231bhp (170 kW) @ 5900 rpm 300Nm @ 3500 rpm 6.5s (7.0s for Auto) to 100km/h Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 hi guys anyone can give idea Performance my e46 330ci auto thanks Sure, PM me and I'll take it for a drive and let you know how it performs, some twisty back roads would be nice. What year is it? They made the 330i for quite a few of them and they got faster and faster. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apex 693 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 That’s an American site that is based on American cars and has factory claimed data, 0-100 in 6.5 is bullshit as shown above, an Automatic Sedan is much much slower. That site doesnt have any of my three cars on it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forrest 35 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 Power to weight is your friend...and to a degree it is a 'free' mod. Just loose some interior, lighter wheels, carbon or fibreglass panels. Done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
