330ci Auto 0-60

[Aydin]

Does anyone know what the actual 0-60 of a stock 330ci auto is?

I am seeing all sorts of different numbers

the last thing i found was that auto is 7s and manual is 6.5.

Is that right????

yup, that's right, i think the very best i've read is a 6.9 or 6.8 but most say 7

[MrM3]

the best ive seen for a 330ci was 5.8 manual and 6.7 auto, but those were from two different magazines. i think an average time is around 6.2 manual and 7.0 auto

wut bout a 325ci auto?

These are offical BMW times for 330ci:

Manual : 6.8 sec

Auto: 7.4 Sec

Yes they are pretty slow, deloriants E36 328i beats a 330ci. Also a jetta 1.8T would probably nail a 330ci.

nope offical times are 5.86 and 6.45 i tested them myself and used GPS and a laptop to get the times and this place i race at. A jetta 1.8t wouldnt stand a chance, a gold VR6 6 speed cant even beat an auto. Also an R32 has a hard time beating a 6 speed but one can do it.

Huh, my E46 /25 beats a 1.8T.

330xi & a ZHP, both manual, will hit it around 5.9 - 6.0, according to MotorTrend. Motortrend clocked a 330i STEP @ 6.7, which i I think is very accurate.

Hi!! I've read that 330i manual can do it in around 6.1 seconds so a 330Ci manual can definetly do it in at least 6.1 seconds. Auto 330Ci probably does it in 6.8 seconds.

Thanks.
BYE.

Does anyone know for sure wht the actual time is.. there is a huge difference between a 7.4 and a 6.7... has anyone tested their car?


Thanks

What about a 2000 323ci, 5 speed?

Let me settle this for you then, I used a G-Tech on a track last year to check out the time, it was a 330ci manual, premium and sports package, no PP.

I did 3 runs, fastest was a 6.3 with 1/4 mile 14.4 sec. and that was the only one I managed not to spin the tires excessively, I pushed first gear all the way to the redline and hit 60 in the second gear. The other two runs I had really sh_tty launches and only managed 7.0 or so. So auto, probably add on about 0.5 sec or so, around 7.0 would be just about right. With a performance package, I think sub 6.0 for manual is definitely possible.

When I was looking to buy mine, this is what I found for consensus:

330 Auto = 6.9-7.0
325 Manual = 7.0-7.1

So I figured it would cost me about $5,000 - $6,000 to save .1 seconds and not have to shift. (I know, I know, there are other differences but I'm talking performance wise.) But I like to shift and I can live with the .1 seconds so I went with the 325.

I've clocked a 6.8 with a GTech on mine (325i / man / bone stock) but I usually hit about 7.1 - 7.3. (I'm not that good!)

I do like the stump puller 1st gear on this car, gets you off the line quick which is usually what matters.

My previous car was a C5 Hardtop (manual) and my personal best with that was 5.18 but I know people who got < 5 with a few minor mods. Not the most practical car in Minnesota, but on the other hand, it didn't lose coolant like my BMW has been!
