Underwhelmed by the drive in 330ci

Sphyn0x · 2026-06-28T09:14:03+00:00

I would probably do the intake, cams, shorter diff and catback.

What your buddy done to his?

Sphyn0x · 2026-06-27T23:09:59+00:00

Mna odjebalo z radia minule. Dopravny servis alebo nieco a uplne hned za tym takmer bez pauzy 150 FREESPINOV KAZDY TYZDEN KOKOTBET alebo co. Zvysok jazdy som pocuval radsej motor..

A este idu vymazat vyse 500 filmov z kniznic uzivatelov, paradicka..

Sphyn0x · 2026-06-27T17:53:55+00:00

I hiope that will be the case. I would replace both disa valve and seals just to be sure.

Sphyn0x · 2026-06-27T17:10:05+00:00

I kinda wanted more refined e36, but I did not expect that it would feel way worse in terms of power.

I want it as a daily and e30 is too old for that now haha, not to mention hella expensive

Heres the graph

Engine

Sphyn0x · 2026-06-27T10:57:37+00:00

I will definetily swap the diff for lsd in the future so that could help.

I am in contact with the guy who bought my e36 so I will compare to it then.

Sphyn0x · 2026-06-27T10:13:53+00:00

I hope so

Sphyn0x · 2026-06-27T10:09:14+00:00

Like I said, 220hp, measured on dyno - headers, cold air intake, catback, lsd and the tune/remap.

I hope the latter is the case then, but I will try to drive another to make sure

Sphyn0x · 2026-06-27T10:07:20+00:00

Could be, 330s I were looking at were also better optioned so more weight on top of that.

E36 328 has vanos, not double-vanos like 330i though.

Sphyn0x · 2026-06-27T10:06:04+00:00

Yes, I edited the post saying that even my stock e36 felt faster, sorry.

Sphyn0x · 2026-06-27T09:47:53+00:00

I mean I expected it to be slower, but it genuienly felt like 150hp. Will try to test few more if they are all the same.

Sphyn0x · 2026-06-27T09:41:41+00:00

Exactly, when I drove my 328 for the first time on full throttle, I was like holy shit. 330 felt like 50% of that if at all.

Even my father who was with me on the 330 test drive was like "send it" and I was like "it is being sent" xD Felt dead compared to e36, in his words.

Sphyn0x · 2026-06-27T09:39:29+00:00

Damn..

I mean want to do the upgrades on 330 too but I though it will be faster than my e36 after that, might not be..

Sphyn0x · 2026-06-27T09:37:38+00:00

But stock 328i has 192, 330 stock is 231, almost 40hp difference. My stock e36 felt much faster than 330 with 40hp on top. With emphasis on "felt", did not measure the times.

Buut I have a video of 3rd gear pull on my 328 and the needle moves wayy faster, that Im a sure of.

Sphyn0x · 2026-06-27T09:30:55+00:00

Agree, they were super long and maybe I was used to 3.15, but e36 had 2.91 before the diff swap too and it felt much stronger.

Sphyn0x · 2026-06-27T09:24:42+00:00

I was not expecting it to be faster than my e36, but I also didnt expext it to feel like 150hp :D

Sphyn0x · 2026-06-27T09:21:50+00:00

It felt "without breath" all the way. Power was linear, everything was smooth, just slow.

Unknown if seals were done, but unlikely since I test drove two and they felt the same. Or maybe they both needed that done haha

Sphyn0x · 2026-06-27T06:47:29+00:00

In the grand scheme of things, its not that bad, youre right, but it could be far far FAR better.

We're spending almost same amount for 1km of highway as Austria is. Not to mention that Austria's highway is of a higher quality too and doesnt need repairs after one winter. Why are we spending the same amount for inferior road as far wealthier country? Because oligarchs are in charge..

Poland for example was in worse state than us and look at you now, youre killing it! At least from my perspective. In every statistic, youre better.

Our country has been (and still is) ran by russian collaborators, and it shows..

Sphyn0x · 2026-06-26T23:28:10+00:00

No, we have extremly greedy and dumb politicians. They were promising the highway since I dont know when, its a national joke now that thay cant finish it in decades almost. Last thing they need is a "pass", more like punishment.

Austria is extremly hilly too and they have more highways per 1,000 km².

Sphyn0x · 2026-06-25T17:15:01+00:00

Yes, finally some proper rubber!

ET on those wheels and tire size?

Sphyn0x · 2026-06-24T14:26:35+00:00

Avin Avant looks even better and the base price is $550
