2 points, yep, a 328 in a straight line vs S4 or a muscle car with 400hp won't win unless the other driver was going less than 90%.

The other, I think the whole point of this thread was more the 'car' than the 'driver' mod as the OP was talking about straight line acceleration, i.e., basically floor it and see who wins.

But I digress. It's a 328i, not a 335i, most people dont buy the smaller engine of the line to 'race'. Even a 335 wont beat some of the cars listed here without extensive mods. For example, I'd get my butt handed it me if I took my 335 against a new Mustang GT or Camaro SS. But we already know that those cars will beat us in a straight line and on the track...
