ah alas..............gone are the days when 328i meant 2.8L staight six, these days its 2L 4 cylinder turbo...........:yuck: As fantastic as the 4pot is, nothing tops a straight six for smoothness and refinement, and that glorious sound....of course.

BMW are just coping VAG method of easily liberating power form smaller turbo powerplants, better for emmissions, fuel consumption, cheaper, cost effective etc.

It is not what the heart and soul of BMW is..............:nonono:

Pointless comparing a NA 325/328/330 to a turbo car.

Tell him to put hiz GTi up against a //M6, same outcome.

Apples with apples my friend.

all the 2.0L T cars ranges wich includes all the hot hatches always compete with the older NA BMW's

And there claim to fame was to bench mark against the BMW 325i/328i/330i and of course the M3 because they are the business! You never heard a BMW 330i/M3 saying my bench mark is a GTI lol

Ive always heard guys going WOW i just beat a M3, while spending 50k to make his GTi "just" beat an M3 lol (and a stock M)

BMW with the newer range of motors have now layed down the law on the other car manufacturers with the turbo motors, giving hidings all over the place!

look at the F30/F20 125i vs the G7 Gti, the GTi gets a spanking!

i have been a a few dyno days and yes there are some very strong K04 GTi/S3's out there pushing 260wkw with around 550nm, but can you imagine how much cash they spent on that car to get that and that poor 2.0L motor is at its limits.

Then you get the guys coming with the M135i/135i and 335i with just some software DP and exhaust pushing out the same power and sometimes even more!

No thanks i will stay with my BMW as she is a gem and there is nothing like that 3.0L T sound at full throttle!

Hey guys,was talking too my cousin and he says "BMW's are much slower than modified gti's and audi 2L turbo"me being a hardcore BMW guy thinks this is nonsense,he drives a 2litre turbo modified Audi and says that BMW(325,328,330etc)have no chance against him,although when I called him when I had a modified 325i he didn't come lol,what are your opinions guys?

it does not matter , at the end of the day its a modified car , tell him to bring it with out the mode , and we will see if it as fast as a bmw :thumbs:

A 2 L turbo modded Audi, with a remap, intake, exhaust, dp, and the other common mods on those cars will sadly kill a modded E90 325i or 330i.

There's not much room for big gains on the N52 :thumbs:

That's just my view :=):
