328 Guys talking crap about Alti and Max
Hmmmmmmmm, 328 guys are talking smack about the Maxima and new Alti. Why can't they just admit that their cars are slower instead of posting BS kill stories?

the 328 and 330, although they are similar in stock performance numbers, they have slightly better gearing and top end. the difference on surface street is very minimal..i've raced a couple and i either pulled away from them or it was just dead even.(both cars were modified, manuals...). At the track tho, the difference is little bit more apparent. they're really good handling cars, and the top end on those cars are amazing(especially when they're modified). one 330i was drafting me and then passed me fairly quick. it was really frustrating...

One of the few and only ways of knowing what rocks would be actually taking our cars on the track. Stock VS. stock. Modified VS. modified. Auto. VS. auto. Get my drift? Nuthin like actual ##'s to drop all of th bird@*!^ from our boards. I know I'm game if they are.

I have several girlfriends that had 3 series, stock VS. stock., no-one handles the twisties better than a 3 series. That I will admit.

wow
I had no idea people that actually had the intelligence to buy a BMW could be so full of it. I smoked a 325 hard last week. 328's are pretty close to us, but I don't see that idiot beating a max or a v6 altima.

those guys are stupid! They were talking about badging their 328s to 318 just to surpise people. One guy said he is going to drop an M3 engine into his 325, but still maintains the 325 badge just to imitate other people!
Also, most of them are 318i, almost all of the 328 there are rice!

By the way, you guys really have NO IDEA how well a BMW handles huh? Go see how fast those things blast through the SLALOM compared to our cars.. no competition at all. Throw in some springs on their cars, they are GONE. By the way you have no clue what a sleeper means eh?

By the way the 330's are barely slower then the e36 m3.. surprises me how you guys act like they are stock civics. As for the guy that says his 95 auto beat a 328 5 speed.. LOL, either the guy cant drive, or thats a funny story.. my 95 auto vs. 328 5 speed, sorry, no way, they get the launch, they keep pulling, they see a twisty, throw the car in and poof.. bye bye..

I believe! In fact, I witnessed one.
I saw a 325 coupe lowered with 18" rims, exhaust taking a left turn on a very tight street at 40mph (I was going straight at that speed!!! I was like "excellent, let see that thing oversteer and hit the pedestrians". ! Howver, it made the corner so well that it stayed right inside its very tight lane.

Is this any true?
Also, SCC in 4 of their articles claimed that stiff anti roll bars improved ride quality. So I believe that BMW's big anti roll bar combined with low spring rates should give it good comfort with mimimal body roll.

I have raced 3 different people in 328i's over the past 2 years...all 5 speed manuals. I was able to beat each and everyone of them in my '00 Max SE 5-speed (stock). All races were from a dead stop up to about 60-70mph or so. Those cars are quick as I could only get about a car length ahead in each race.
Handling wise, no competition... the BMW 3-series rocks. I have participated in the BMW Ultimate Driving Experience for 3 years in a row now. You get a chance to flog the heck out of their cars with them pushing you to go faster and drive harder. You get to run your best times through an autocross course. It is fun.
I would own a 330i if I could justify the additional $10K over a loaded Maxima. I just don't see enough extra value to make it worthwhile. Besides, my brother drives a 3 years old 540i and that thing is always in the shop for some sort of repair...8 times in the past 12 months.

I beat a 525i in my 2000 Altima SE (155hp 4-cyl 5-spd) coming out of a toll booth last month. I was pretty surprised (and he was even more surprised!), but I think he was automatic and much heavier than mine. I beat him in a race to get the front spot in the fast lane. Both of us from a roll, exit speed and timing just about neck & neck.
But still fun to beat a car that cost twice as much as mine.

Those small displacement BMW engines are quick. The 3.0l engine pushed the 530 sport extremely well. I raced a 530i sport with manual, rims and exhaust. Those things aren't very good from a dead stop. I wasted the guy at the start, but all the way upto 70mph, it was only 2 cars behind me and still pulling. Consider they weight 400lb more than the Maxima, that's very good!
