Curious, had a BMW 325 pull up next to me and looked like he wanted to race (I have a 2004 C320). I didn't challenge him but it got me thinking, how would the C320 hold up against it? I'm pretty sure it would get beaten by the 330 BMW. And along the same lines of thinking, what would be considered a good matchup btwn the C320?

Just curious.

Thanks

The only 330s that you would have a chance against is the 330xi,330Ci, or 330i Automatics in all.

Thanks for the info.

I'm surprised that it would have a chance with any version of the BMW 330's but sounds like an even match with the 325 (I have an auto).

I wonder how the C230 would do... SC and SS

can't beat people that drive like a maniac

I would accelerate up to the speed limit and stay there but some other guy would catch up by continuing to accelerate until his car reaches 90 - 100 mph in a 50 mph zone.

it's not worth it for me.

C320 goes faster than 137. The C230 freed of its limiter nearly touches 150. I think its 155 for the C320. And the 0-60 times for the 325 are pretty optimistic.

auto 330 vs. manual C320 and it's close. 330 manual and your toast
