Hi all,

Thinking of getting an e46 msport for summertime to hoon around in.

I want a 325ci or 330ci....

Does anyone know what the mechanical differences are between the 325ci Msport and the 330ci Msport? I know the engine is larger in the 330ci Msport, but did it come with any other differences like suspension, brakes ect?

Or is it exactly the same setup?

I've had both, I personaly thaught the 325i was the better car, cheaper on insurance, didn't burn oil like petrol and unless you dragraced them doubt you'd notice the power difference, 325s seem hardere to find though

I 330 has bigger brakes and some differences in suspension though not sure what
Cockpit interior has different colour dials around fuel gauge speedo rev counter coolant temp
Also different inside front headlight titanium surround or something

330 is the one to have if u can find a nice one
Anyway u get bored of 325 real quick
