Not saying the TSX is bad its not at all, but a 328 should be noticeable faster and I feel something is off with yours. (coming from a fellow E46 owner)
When my 328i was brand new, it may be slightly faster than my TSX but never come to noticeable faster. But when I got my TSX, my 328i was already 4 yr old. And my TSX with hondata is able to pull away from a E46 325. But I dun care which one is slightly faster than which. The point is the 2.4L Honda I4 just as strong as some BMW I6 even with higher displacement. Many over here will just say I4 sucks, FWD sucks, jap sucks...etc. even never really drive it and then comment with "my buddy has one and it sucks".
