In the e46, the torque may peak at lower rpm hence may give the car a better acceleration feel but it runs out of breath at 6k rpm. with e90 n52, the engine is very free revving and get the surge may come in above 4.5k rpm and pulls happily till 7k rpm (with a wonderful sounding pitch), trust me, u'll be finding excuses to rev the car all the time... heh . if u put both car side by side, the e46 may feel faster but on actual fact, the e90 will be faster to 100km/h. another 2  factor to add on is that the e90 is heavier compared to e46 and e90 is running on RFT. if u test drove the standard 325 which comes in 17" rims, the pick up is even better compared to sports which is on 18". finally is to have the e90 tested on 'S' mode which is much more responsive compared to 'D'. i also can assure u, if u would to add sprint booster on the e90 325, the car will jump like a kangaroo (simon khw can vow on it).. hehe.. just my opinionGo for the e90 325, u won't regret it!</blockquote>
