Like posted, the 328 isnt that slow compared to the TL type S.

Either way you deserve to at least drive a manual 328 and see how it is. Even if its rwd, it will give you an idea how fast the car is.

HP ratings are nothing to BMW so dont bother to look at them. They are always UNDERRATED

 

listen to that last part. the hp numbers you see in magazines or on their website dont tell you anything. when you're dealing with bmw, hp ratings shouldn't even be a concern because there's no way to compare them to other cars unless you drive them. anyways, you asked about a 328 MT...i've driven a 2005 330ci MT plenty of times (225 hp...not that it matters) and it was one hell of a car, not only in handling, but in performance. the manual transmissions in bmws are extremely easy to shift and there's just something about them that makes the ride fun every single time which is something that i have yet to experience with other MT cars.

 

Point definitely taken. I'm not typically a race driver, I like to drive with a thrill but i'm not the type of guy to look over and want to beat some other guy. I mean I take pride in knowing whether or not my car is faster than someone else's. But, then I thought to myself "how many street races have i been in since i've had my car" ZERO. I think I rather have a nice car like the beamer coupe than a cardboard rocket like an evo.

 

In that case, get the Audi A4

 

I def rather have the BMW than the Audi....unless we're talkin about an S4 in which case they're ridiculously overpriced
