Also, you can add a lot of power by swapping the manifold. BMW really crippled the 328 to make space for the 335.
Doesn't surprise me. The 330i ZHP put out 235hp in 2003 with an engine from a few years prior.

That the 328 put out 230hp 8 years later from the same displacement was silly.

Similar to Mazda getting only 155hp out of the ND Miata. Now they offer 30hp more. I bet they could squeeze even more.
