I didn't wanna say this earlier cos dunno how the valvy fellas will re-act but I find the higher rpms in the valvy to be unduly harsh and breathless and that's where the 6-potters really shine! The E46 325i develops a second kink past 5,000 rpms and sings so sweetly and purposefully up to 6,500 rpms. From E46Fanatic's evaluation of the E90 325i, this is enhanced further by another 1,000 rpms to a redline of 7,500 rpms. Incidentally, the E46 325i also has a problem of strong 3rd gear followed by a rather staid 4th gear...  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
