BMW 328 is slow
Was going into work on a sunday and cruising about 70 or so when this BMW 328 flies onto the hwy. There are no cars but us and he starts going 80-85. Well I sped up a bit and then cars started to merge onto the hwy almost blocking me in. Choice-hit brakes or drop to 4th and pull in front on bmw. Well I pulled in front and he was miffed. He was tailing me (mind you Im still in 4th now going about 90) and I nailed it and coasted, 3 separate times (took it up to 110 or so each time) and just walked that BMW each time. Figured he'd be closer... Oh well it was fun. Back to work now. 
Oh and this was amusing as he was in his 50s and I in my mid 30s. We need to grow up, huh?

Oh yeah here's a funny one, my friend has a turbo 325 running 8psi of boost from www.aatuning.com. He raced JTmam03 and he was pinned at 120 and the 325 left him by 20 cars, it was hilarious and pathetic. Then the same 03 raced the N/A 328 with just an intake and it was right next to it the whole time not that impressive when comparing a car that has 193 from factory compared to one that has 255hp. I'll say Nissan's are pathetic the only true Nissan, is the 3rd gen maxima

I have no doubt a modded BMW anything can be very quick, but I was suprised at how little spring there was in the 328. Granted it was probably an auto and I am a 6 speed, but still. Now I wouldn;t even try playing on a curvy road-I know I'd either see tail lights or tree bark up close.

no way a 325 would beat a VQ35 auto or 6sp.
3.5 vs 2.5, the maxima just has so much more torque, it will RIP it off the line. i am pretty sure i can take a 330i with no problem off the line. 330ci are a little bit quicker i guess and a 6sp would have to go against it.

LOL 20 cars huh what does he have a M3 engine swap and 100G's under the hood. Now that is funny I love when people Exaggerate and talk so much **** that they should wipe their face with a toilet paper. Man why dont u wake up and smell the coffe and go back to your 3r gen forum. Whats nex you will tell us that your max has 450hp under the hood and smokes anything on the road.

Hey at least you acknowledged the handling advantage...hard to find someone around here admitting there's more to performane than straight line speed.

Auto vs auto, there's no contest: the 2K2/3 Max will RIP the 328, 325 and 323 EVERY time. But the 5sp 328 can hold its own against our auto Maximas.
Now the BMW 330 runs equal acceleration numbers to our 2K2/3 Maximas (5sp vs 6sp, auto vs auto) and adds balanced handling to the equation...in other words...we'd probably get beat (all other things being equal).
As far as the M3 goes, unless its a stock E30 we'd have no chance.
Peace.
