I remember > 10 years ago I had a new 184BHP /390Nm E46 330d 5MT saloon driving on the Autobahn heading for Switzerland, when a new E46 M3 occured in my rear view mirror. I let him pass and told my co-pilot(lol) let's see what my mighty(..) 330d will do vs the M3...

From 70-130 mph... Within a few seconds the M3 just was a small point @ the horizon. And still my 330d felt rather fast

Cheers

Yeah makes perfect sense on the HP difference there, not to mention the torque..

true on that.. raw and more engaging to drive.. that's exactly what i feel, agree on you. this car is an amazing GT car IMO, rides very comfortable, interior quality..
