ShiraiwaRiku · 06-09-2006, 02:53 PM

02 330ci manual VS 06 330xi auto

you guyz have any idea who would win?

voltron1011 · 06-09-2006, 02:54 PM

Might be close, but I think the 02 would win because of the XI's weight penalty.

yeah.. I think XI's wieght is so heavy with the extra 100kg or so for the AWD and the two rear doors

the xi will win in snow...

If it was manual vs manual the xi would win

Getagrip · 06-09-2006, 06:14 PM

It's good to the see the Xi owners representing

Ci would win. I just pray for snow!

Asiann · 06-09-2006, 07:00 PM

I think the 330xi would win. Yes the car weighs a little bit more but I think it could pull it off. Only one way to tell. Anybody?

I hope so..

but XI actually has a lot of extra weight

powderhound · 06-13-2006, 10:33 AM

ci might take this one based on weight and trans...I only test drove a 325i before i bought my xi, i was a little disappointed when i got the xi - signifigant pick up difference (felt sluggish), but unbelievable in the snow, which, for me anyway, is king...pick-up and smoothness has improved with mileage..

How much more does it weigh? I have heard 500 lbs... anyone know for sure?

Loving it! I'm really liking the Bluetooth with having a manual trans.
Still planning on dropping with H&R springs. Still waiting on the springs. Got my CSL reps on though.

okay, weight is an issue, i agree... did the e46s weigh a lot less? but given similar power to the wheels, awd accelerates better than 2. what is it... 235 vs. 255 hp at the crank? so to the wheels, accounting for drivetrain loss on the xi is probably pretty similar. so if the xi was manual.. yeah it'd be pretty close, but i think with auto, plus the weight difference, the ci's going to win. hahaha... but of course that's just paper-racing... in the real world you gotta factor in driver, conditions, etc, etc.
