I've had one since January now. IMO the spread could be closer with a taller 6th gear overdrive.

Hey Zent, Interesting, as I never heard of this complaint from other stick-drivers, so i'm that much less sad for driving an automatic (in case wife needs to drive it) plus it's fun-enuf with the tiptronic and all the smart phone diddling these days ;] I got my '06 330i (Sport Pkg like yours) way back in '08 and it's been a fantastic 'daily' ..and since i did the usual: shocks, water pump, h-gasket, at 190k! miles the care is practically worthless on CL, but for me it's an absolute Gem - the N52 still runs like new - amazing! So I'll run it to the ground ...having a new F30 (Sport Line ..total BS) as a backup ..which I hate btw. Good luck with that project, looking fwd to seeing what you'll come up with.. vc

A very easy MOD for these that I did on my 2009 328i, is swap the US airbox for the European version. I found one on Ebay for about $115. Better fuel economy and it accelerates better in the top end.

Nice pickup Zent! When I was looking for a replacement for my 03 Accord v6 sedan in 2012 I drove one of these and a ton of other cars before deciding on an 06 E46 330ci 6spd with ZHP performance package and 60K miles for 16500. Just turned over 100K miles and still absolutely love that car but may eventually do a limited slip. I believe that your car is an 06 no? Shorter gears are going to really wake that up. Are you going to be adding lightness too?

Thanks for the reply! I asked you because you have lots of experience with a few cars and know what you’re talking about. I actually already have a 128i. It’s not a slick top, but it is a 6spd manual. That was my main criteria for the car. I haven’t done any suspension work yet, but I will very soon as I found out the reason why my car drives like a boat. I have blown suspension up front. I’m hoping Koni Yellows with Eibach springs will fix the boat feeling
