(Evo X, just too fast somehow ) A 325i w right suspension n tire setup is able to WOT n flat out on most of the bends in SIC. thus being in max torque n high rev range (ie 4.5k n above) on most area's arnd the track, dat's e only advantage.whereas other FI monster have to content w throttle control & torque steer, traction problem, etc.however in e hands of a very skilled driver, they will eat 325 for breakie, lunch n dinner.  i've also driven n been on track on EVO's n STI and understand how fast these car's r w e right driver.but my related experience is with the typical Joe, in which most of the owner r anyway. lastly bmw's r really boring on track if u dun turn on DTC but rev limiter is big turn off. does not allow u to over rev n also downshift ie engine braking so u need to work e shifters hard.so if u drive all out den its mostly above 4.5k most of e time n hard braking.but w DSC off, walaueh... u need to be at least jeremy clarkson to drive it arnd e track... scary... dun try if not trained. on twisty roads like uluyam, it's a matter of who's B!@#s is bigger.. make sense ahaha.i think btwn a 325i n 320d, there really isnt much difference in terms of specs so skill wld come to play.also 320d comes in 17"s n 325i in 18's, makes a difference in acceleration(320d) n also handling(325i).pls dun ask me to race.. i have got nuthing to prove n i dun have BIG B!@#s coz i empty them often lastly i lurve BMW's... :love: in all guises, models n specs....
