BWM's are fast, esp the lighter 3 series with the inline six cylinder motors. The 330 is rated at 225 hp and @ 240 ft/lb torque. And yes, BMWs are underrated in HP. Don't lose sleep over a car that costs 2 x's or more of what you paid for your stang keeping up with you on the street. They are the sports car of luxury car world and are pretty fast out of the box (esp when you get to the 400 hp M5s and the newer 333 hp M3s). My friend has an 89 turbo trans am and we crushed a 325 last month in a stop light duel. 330's aren't much faster so don't worry about it. It makes sense for someone to brag that their 45k import car can beat a 20k mustang... BMW drivers need love too lol.
