Right, because the 330ci had 50 extra horses and 80 extra lbs-ft of torque over the 328ci?

You're missing my point. 330i to 335i is such a big leap in performance, that it's more than enough to turn the 330i into an entry level car. It would still have been bigger performance gap between the two models than anything E46 saw. That is, there is nothing wrong with 330i-335i lineup in terms of performance spread. There was, however, a problem with not screwing over the first year buyers.
