That was a 330ci not an xi which the only diff is 2 door(ci) vs. 4 door(xi)

Wtf? The 330ci runs the 1/4 mid to high 14's @ under 97-98mph. You will murder him unless you have no clue how to drive in which case you could lose to almost anything.

And what do you mean by "lots of potential." BMW 3 series are nice cars but certainly not known for their potential, lol. Your WS6 on the other hand has a LOT more potential.

330xi are awd w/ 3.0 v6. They are very nice all around cars, they do everything well. With that said, your f-body is a purpose built muscle car. Stock vs. Stock is not much of a competition. Until the 330 owner pony's up the extra $ for an M3, there's not much of a race here.

Since when have BMW's been 4wd???

Unless it's a US only model. The X3 and X5 SUV's are 4wd but all the CARS are 2wd, well rwd to be exact.

I just checked, yeap, it's an AWD version. I guess they wanted to compete with the AWD G35.

We talked about this before with in the U.S. getting different models. Audi remember, lol. Crazy U.S. market.
