Acceleration Battle - 200 km/h | BMW 325Ci vs 330Ci | (Legendary E46)

Same part of autobahn. Very similar conditions. Just to imagine how much faster the 330Ci in higher speed is.

So many people just rev it out and dump the clutch. That 325i launch was so smooth and might of even been faster due to lack of wheel spin.

I must say as impressive as two engines are let's not forget insanely good gearbox and diff ratios for both cars as they are made quite equal till around 100kmh. Let that sink in, both cars drive equal while having close to 40hp difference. I Love german engineering.

Beautiful, incredible unforgettable ENGINE sound . Not much difference from start 0-100,
330 slightly wheel spin at start. After passing 100km/h 330 getting stronger . On the end 325 going 180 and 330 got 200 already.

325 Very good dynamic start man, no wheel spin

Upto 140kph the 325i lost by about 6/7kph which was by not being to hit 100kph in 2nd if not for that they were equal but after 140kph the 330i Higher bhp starts to show, from 140kph -200kph the 330i opens up another 15kph so when 330 hit 200kph 325 was about 180kph . 330i Power is impressive

Nice vid!
But You can probably break 2 year old bmw faster than e46 🤣 e46 is last bimmer that was still reliable.

Legendary classical whatever you call it I love my 02 325ci coop...

[rajinderbisessar]

i dont understand this?! You see my 325 ci from 2002, even yesterday ived tried, goes in 2 gear nearly 100 (i guess it would be 95 km/h), Third gear would go till 145 km/h....and in 4th gear 200 km/h, and then i have to go to 5th gear. I got original BBS 17 inch and my motor is so good...i dont understand at all....coz it has 345.000 km on it. Its a beautifull car and i can drive as hard as i want. Maby because the first owner and i take/took care of the engine and all...what a car! What a car... What i see on the video is that my 325 ci drives exactly as the 330i...and thats strange isnt it?

[farukozan]

325ci 192 Ps (257...km) - 330ci 231 Ps (195...km) 👍 330ci winner +40 Ps, -60.000 km 😁

Gears are longer in 330, right? Diff ratio or gearbox? Thank you!

[gagebachman]

Long story short the 330 has more high end torque

[nancyS]

So E46 is officially declared as legendary by this channel?

[camdvrk]

Curious as to the difference it would make with a 3.46 diff in the 330.

Woah, 2 month ago i bought a legendary e46? E46 is legendary car?

[mg]

Wow. Der 330i ist doch um einiges schneller auf 200 als der 325i. Also mein 323ci ist fast so schnell wie der 325i. Oben rum ist der 325i aber irgendwie munterer und hört sich kerniger an als mein 323ci. Vmax tun sich beide aber nicht viel. Bei mir stehen auch immer die 240 auf der Uhr. Wobei ich dann nicht am Begrenzer bin. Und meine Auspuffrohre sind nicht schwarz sondern absolut sauber. Der M54 soll ja andere Kolbenringe haben und ab und zu mehr Öl fressen als der M52TU. Am M52TU finde ich den Drehmoment Verlauf untenrum sehr schön, aber oben raus ab 5500 U/min merkt man das der M52TU irgendwie nicht so schön drehfreudig ist wie die M54 Motoren. Hatte auch mal einen 325ti Compact mit dem M54. Genau so wie einen E39 520i aus 97. Einen E39 528i aus 99 und nun halt den 323ci aus 99.

[Stuntzii]

I have an e46 330xi 5 speed how much slower do you think that would be compared to a ci?

[UC]

this is why you get a lightweight flywheel 😉

[ESKATEUK]

There is no reason at all to buy a 325ci when you can get a 330ci. The difference in performance is drastic, the difference in fuel economy and parts is negligible. The 330ci is the way to go.

[TheRomanoLV]

Imagine having the money for an 330CI and not having spare cash for gas

[shabazuddin]

Nice video. What is triangle symbol shows in the middle of meterbox?
