Are 323's slow??

I recently entered the car market and was checking out the 1999 323I. A couple people have told me they are slow. But then again, I'm coming from 400HP Hondas so of course they're slow compared to those. I'm not really looking for speed racer here, just the stylish classiness of the bmw.

So my question is this: Is the 1999+ 3232I a slouch? And is there a big difference between the 99+ 323 and 328?

Any comments and help would be appreciated, thanks.

i think they have plenty of power

i think they're slow, especially auto's

Ok i can tell the last two guys helped a lot...

the 323 is not FAST like a drag racer, but the 328 is faster. remember, the engine size means alot, plus the dinan blowers on 328's are insane.

the 323 isnt slow, but i would only consider the 325 and the 328... i myself have an e30 325i, dont forget the e36's and e46's are much heavier... what about the 330i??? thats the best of all the late model three series (except for the m3 duh)
