Depends as the 330 can differ in the option department. Obviously the 3.0 has
more torque and BHP but whether you would actually notice it in everyday driving
I can't say but I do know there is not much difference between the 4.0 V8 and
the 4.4 V8 yet the 5.0 V12 has bags more torque and strangely enough my 3.0
diesel 730d feels like the V12 on acceleration but falls short of the top speed
by 5mph (boo hoo).

The large engined car has a higher ratio rear end and in most instances this can
give you better mileage especially in everyday driving but then if in town the
consumption can and will fall dramatically. My diesel 730 gets 37mpg (imperial)
in general running to and from work (25 miles there and 25 back) but now I am
not at work the mpg has dropped to 22 in street and shopping use.

Ever thought of a SMART car?

BTW I have seen rusty cars in FL.

Since I got so much good info on the "leather vs vinyl" post, my next one is 325 vs 330. I'm looking at an 05 or 06 3 series. Is there any other "real" differences between them except the engines ?? Not that it matters, but I'm looking for a coupe. The plan is to head down to Florida in a few months and bring one back north. Something with under 35k miles.
