2002 BMW 330ci ClubSport

[FRANCO]

Has anyone seen this new car? The 330ci CS (ClubSport) is nice! Better suspension, front and rear M bumpers, double-spoke 18 inch wheels, new M spoiler, some removal of acoustics insulation to make the engine sound louder, and leather/alcantara sports seats, shortened M gear lever, door sill with ‘Clubsport’ model designation and special silver aluminium cubed interior trim. Plus, the most important of all, 231 bhp @ 5900rpm and 221 lbs/ft @ 3500rpm with the same engine!

naw, we have 225 bhp (base horse power) or horse power to the crank. They CS has 231hp to the crank.

I am going to agree with the others...

231hp DIN = 225hp SAE...

Take notice if they list HP ratings with a kW rating, it is most likely DIN hp.

Oh, I didn't see if it was in DIN, my fault.

I was getting all excited for nothing!

I've been to a couple of dealers, and none seem to have heard of the Clubsport.
I've seen it a couple of months ago in Autoweek, but the dealers seem not to know.
Is it coming and when... anyone know?
