Neither version of the New 3 is overpowering, however. Both have more than adequate power for anything you'd want to do, and both reach highly illegal speeds in a short period of time. BMW claims 0-60 mph times with the 325i to be 6.7 seconds with the manual and 7.2 seconds with the automatic; with the 330i it's 6.1 and 6.3 seconds, respectively. On our ride, we were over 100 mph way too soon.
We're clocked at 6.2 0-60
However.....
This article shows them hitting 60 at 6.6 and the 1/4 mile in 14.96@96.84 and this artice shows track conditions so I would tend to believe one over the first

I think we'd take'em... It would be a pretty close race though

AT would be close, MT our TL-S would most likley get beat considering we can edge out the previous gen 330ci MT. Although I can say that I smoked a 06 325i yesterday Whopeeee

IMO, the bimmer will have an edge, but it will really depend on the tires you guys are running. I'm very positive the 330i will have helluvalot better stock rubbers than the Michelin MXM4's that can't grip worth shit.
Also, "stock" for 330i could mean it has optional sport suspension, no?
I bet the 330i will be a car length or so ahead at the start, and maintain that distance.

My buddy Jimmy got his 2006 330i manual transmission almost the same time I've got my new 545i, that is approx. 3 months ago.
We've decided today to go to a drag strip to test our stock cars. Here's the numbers:
-my buddy's 330i:
0-60mph......5.71 sec
1/4 mile........14.18@99mph
my 2006 545i
0-60mph....5.21 sec
1/4 mile.....13.94 sec@104 mph

In a year or two, I'll be looking to trade my 02 Maxima into one of the cars in the GS430/545i/M45 trifecta.

Some guy in his new 330i tried to race me the other day,
I think they are slower then their previous 330 brethren, but it could also be caused by his inexperience driving the new car.
