I have driven both AND the new PZ version down at the motor show this year.
Good'ish car but the wankle engine needs to be worked extremely hard to get the most out of it .. you've always gotta be in the highest rev band to achieve optimum accelleration.
Try putting your foot down from 2,000 rpm and there is some serious lag.
The car last night was managing to catch me up when I reached "a speed" & decided to "ease off"  but it was certainly the higher powered car.
Still trying to convince all the old 350z owners how much better 330i is .. but they are blinkered !
Thank god I saw the light .. I am addicted to BMW now  |
BMW do know what they are doing - that's why I am on my 7th BMW in a row!
What was the PZ like - prodrive are based near me and I'm curious.
Also - did you consider the rx8 - I love the styling and technology, but the fuel economy makes the 330i look frugal. So I passed - plus the 4 seats thing is a prob for me - like with the e92.
