I have dispatched a 328i multiple times.
Once i even did so up hill.
Yes a 325i is the replacement for the 328. But its not really much faster.
so the point is the same
Just realised I was thinking e46's!
Yes originally the 328 and 323 replaced the 325i.
but it was replaced again with the 325i when the e46 came around.
I think the later 325i engine was also availbale for a very short time in a e36 but may be wrong.
There is 1hp difference before a 325i and 328 i in e36's
And the 328 i is only 197hp.
It weighs a lot more, and has longer gearing than a 6.
I have seen mulitple 328i's off before by the time i've finihed up in fourth.
They are no faster than a 6 in any case.
Rob Humphrey that GTi-6 driver was either out of gear or can't drive.
