What frustrates me most is that my 2002 325Ci had 184hp, a top speed of 130 mph, accelerated to sixty in...you guessed it 7.1 secs, and got around the same mileage. At least in that car you got the silky smooth inline six.

It does not get around the same mileage. EPA figures for the E46 and F30 are quite a ways apart. Also do not forget about torque.
