CLP Vs. 330
Well tonight after partying... i was on 59(wide open freeway)... i saw this 330... with 3 people.... we were playing from 40mph.... my car has 3 people as well.... one thing i can tell is... He was like a car behind... and he pulled from behind and a car ahead... so i am wondering, is my car really that slow??? Now stop that "oh you should get a TypeS shit..." please..... just wanna know are they really quick on freeway???? Oh well, I lost... I lost... I lost....
Now I really wonder is it time to start putting stuff on now???
Cuz now i have CAI, pulleys, and plugs.... wat yall think....??? Sigh, oh well....

I can confirm that...they're geared for when power is needed on the Autobahn.
At 75mph in 5th, I'm a little over 3000, close to the torque peak at 3500. Around town or on the freeway, in any gear, I'm usually right around 3000 rpm.

I have a CLP and raced a friend's 330 stick once, from off the line he had half a car on me, then after 60, when i went to 3rd, he had a car on me, then by 100, he had 1 1/2 - 2 on me, and by 145 i passed him 
I love bmw's 128 limiters. I have no problem beating (lightly) the kids with their 325s though. I heard a 330ci convertiable are slower, i gotta try them one day.
