If it was an automatic, it is indeed considerably slower. They were listed as 7.1 seconds 0-60. Manuals were listed at 6.4. The ZHP versions were a bit quicker, with C&D I think getting ~5.6 at best. Even that is slower than what we've been seeing for 335s, auto OR manual - 4.8s. Supercharged, a 330Ci is still slower than a stock 335i.

Nothing to be excited about - you blew away an inferior car. If you did that to an e46 M3, then you should be excited. The 335s are very fast of course, but its competition is not older e46s - they have to compete with IS350s and G37s, which make for much closer races.
