Should be about 50% up.
If you want real power, then try a 1989 E30 M3 - or an M5
Just watch that you can hadle it though - its a big step from a 318i and you don't want to be going round the bends sideways. As to speed, in this country, all you can do is get to the limit faster. Even a 318i will do over a ton.

You will notice a big difference between a 318 and a 328. The 318 has a fairly average 118bhp, will do 0 -60 in about 10 seconds and top out at 124mph. The 328 has 193 bhp, will do 0-60 in about 7 seconds and top out at 147mph. Take one for a test drive and see for yourself. Before you go and get your hopes up however get an insurance quote first as a 328 will be quite a bit more to insure.

Its the low down pulling power you'll first notice, then the small amount of revs to move swiftly!!

Get a 328 then derestrict it, and be very close to 330 performance!!

I have a 328i sport. I love it, its really is cracking! Its got V smooth acceleration and it does 0-60 in around 6.5 secs.
I used to have a golf vr6 (2.8) and there isnt much difference but the 328 has more pull in the lower revs. Might have something to do with the fuel as i started to use Optimax.

Good luck with the search!

You can get the new m5's now for around 20k, Now that would be a healthy power increase

Sorry but I prefer the E34 M5's over the E39 M5's, personally I have gone off cars with traction control even if it can be switched off. The E39 is a great car but just not for me.

The E39 is growing on me, but its still all girly and curvy

The E34, now theres a mans car !!

LOL

I'm not biased of course.
