328i vs. 330i

[bigcreekdad]

I just an 08 328, and am quite please. In the process of my search, I noticed quite a few 06 CPO 330's, apparently coming off leases. I'm just curious as to how these two compare power wise and handling wise.

I drove a 328i coupe and a 330xi recently in my car search and the two had slightly different feel. Apples to oranges in suspension setup obviously, and the RWD suspension seemed to have less of a thud or clunk over the same pothole, even with the sport suspension. I would expect the 328i and 330i to be very similar in handling. The 330 had a bit more power and torque but the 328i was no slouch. Both engines had that characteristic inline 6 smoothness.
