Cool. Ok, now I want an e90! (Although, we'd never, in a million years, get something this cool in the US)

They slightly modified the engine. Here are some facts from the german press release.
173 DIN hp @ 7000 rpm
147 lb-ft @ 4250 rpm
Same displacement, however they increased the hub by 1mm and reduced the stroke by 2mm. The cylinders are covered with special aluminum instead of cast-iron in the stock version. Increased compression, special pistons, special con-rod and stronger bedplate construction are the other changes.
Unlike the regular version, this one is coming without Valvetronic. It's a pure DOHC. The head cover is CF and saves 10kg ~ 22 lb.
It comes with a 6 speed manual.
Oh, forgot to add, it will have bigger brakes. 16".
doesn't the 325 and 330 in the states have different rear ends also, with the smaller power car being lighter and having the lower final drive ratio????
with the 320si running 50 hp down on a 325 and only having 147 ft lbs (all the way up over 4 grand!!!!) I really can't see it giving even a 325 a run for it's money
it's a sort of neat car, but it's not a performance model and I wouldn't buy one unless it was at least 3-4 grand cheaper than a similarly equipped 325

Meh, we wont get it here anyway. I think its an awesome enigne, but in the wrong car. :tsk: I want that engine in a 1series coupe (2 series whatever) STAT!
for every 10lbs of body weight you lose, (and that can be significant, if you're american :stickpoke ) it's equivalent to the effect of adding 1hp in the 1/4mile test. therefore -200lbs is equivalent to +20hp in a 1/4mile test.
similarly, -1lb of wheel weight is equiv to +1hp in a 1/4mile test.
Variable camshaft systems (variation in the timing of the
camshafts) are prohibited.
If the vehicle is homologated with such a system, it must be
rendered inoperative through dismantling or blocking.

That formula can only possibly work within a range around a particular benchmark weight. Otherwise a 235-hp car (or truck) would have 0 hp with a 2350 pound load.
