225 horses to 333 horses

the m3 has excellent handling capibilities while the 330 is more of an everyday car

The M3 is quite a step up from the 330.

If you will be a broke ass joke then get the 330ci or even the 325ci, maybe even look for an E36 M3.

I have owned both.

M3 good for blasting on up. My family love the fact that the M3 turns heads but they don't like going out in it. They loved the 330 on long journeys.
