I just got a 328i and it feels like I’m driving a sports car. The acceleration is a blast, even if I haven’t measured it.

Have you guys tried to compare performance with the 330i or the newer models? I’ve heard they’ve improved on the acceleration metrics.

Yes, the 330i is definitely faster, hitting 60 in about 5.0 seconds. But I still prefer the feel of the 328i!

I’ve always been loyal to BMWs, but I feel like the 0-60 comparisons shouldn’t overshadow the overall driving experience.

Very true! Sometimes the fun in the driving is in the handling, not just the acceleration.

So true! After all, what’s the point of speed if you can’t enjoy the ride? Plus, my 328i gives me plenty of smiles!

I’ve had my BMW 328i for about two years now. With the turbocharged inline-six, I’ve managed to hit 0-60 in around 5.5 seconds! A lot depends on tire choice and weight distribution, though.

19

That’s impressive! What tires are you using? I’ve read that stickier tires can really improve those times.

Weight does play a big role too. Removing unnecessary items from the trunk can shave off a few milliseconds! Every little bit counts in a car like the 328i.
