By that regard the 160hp 1.6L engine in a Honda Civic would be better than the N55.
Power to weight is important, power per liter is a good test of engineering merit, but not necessarily much else.
I test drove every permutation of F30 and the 328 goes fast.
The 335 goes fast, sounds fast, and feels fast.
The last 2 elements are what made me jump to the 335...its purely visceral.
