He never said that his 330 could beat a Cobra... and if you find a E46 M3 for 47k LET ME KNOW.... I'd buy it on the spot... you really can't find them for less than 10k over MSRP... usually more than that and then there is the LONG wait for delivery.

330 auto

The BMW 330ci manual trans claims 14.8 in the quarter mile. The automatic even in steptronic mode is at least .5 seconds slower then the manual.
This are some of the specs from Car & Drivers Test on the porschce Boxster not the Boxster S. There is no way for a stock 330ci to beat any year porsche boxster. Spend a couple hundred on come cold air intake and a new chip, turbo, what ever and the 911 will not be a problem. However I do believe that the BMW comes with much better quality in the build of the car.

What does this have to do with a BMW or a Porsche? Just pat yourself on the back someplace else.
