Most us mag tests have the 328 at 3350 to 3400lbs. If you are saying in your neck of the woods the car is 3000-3100 then it is stripped beyond belief.[/B][/B]

I could make some crack about this being the weight difference of the European and the American driver, but the listed weight was without the driver.

Automobile-catalog.com simulates various performance date based on the cars' specs. I don't know how accurate it is, but it seems that the European 328i might be very close to the NA 335i in performance.

The simulated figures for 0-60 mph for these two cars are 5.2 and 5.1 second respectively. For 0-100 mph, the difference is starting to show a bit with 13.8 and 13.2 seconds.

I can't link directly to the comparison, but if anyone wants a look, they can click here to get to the F30 page. Scroll down to the cars you want to look at, and click "Compare: add above car to comparison"
