I love that steering wheel!!!
From CarAndDriver.com:
"BMW 330i Performance Package
If you're disappointed that the current M3 comes only as a two-door, perhaps the four-door 330i Performance Package, which made its world debut in Los Angeles, will provide some solace. The new 330i PP is powered by a modified 235-horsepower 3.0-liter in-line six-cylinder engine that features different camshafts and performance-modified digital motor electronics. This revised powerplant is mated to a short-throw six-speed manual transmission that includes a shorter final drive ratio. BMW claims the 330i PP will accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 6.0 seconds, about half a second quicker than a standard 330i. Complementing the upgraded powertrain are a new sport suspension (stiffer than the 330i's standard sport suspension), 18-inch wheels with mixed-size performance tires, an aerodynamic package, black headlight trim, and a new exhaust. Inside, there are cloth-and-Alcantara sport seats, an Alcantara-wrapped sport steering wheel, anthracite headliner, and black cube aluminum trim. Production of the 330i PP will begin in March 2003, priced at just under $40,000, with the first cars arriving at dealers in April."

$40,000.... BMW has to kiss my ass...and lick some balls first!...
I would buy the new S60R or even the new Audi S4 before even looking at this 330iPP....

0-60 in six seconds, .5 seconds faster than a regular 330i?
Umm, ok. I'm still trying to figure out how Car and Driver tested their 330ci at 5.8.

I don't care if it's over priced. I like it (especially in red)
BMW has bumped it up a notch, and that's good. Any kind of improvements in any car usually will provoke improvements in the competitors cars.
I think now is a great time to buy cars. There are alot of nice ones out there, and they just seem to get better w/ each model year.

40K?? If it does indeed sell at 40K, then I think that is great deal...by BMW standards anyway. You can't touch a 330 around here for less than 40K regardless of what the ads/web site/magazines say. A 330 w/ CL type options runs abour 42K at the dealers around here
