Default Easy... BS. There's no way a 330xi does 0-60 in 5.7 seconds...
BMW's own published number is 6.9 seconds, which oddly enough is identical to Audi's published number for the 3.0Q.

Perhaps those numbers are mistakenly taken from a 330ci? That might make sense.

Haha... no way. 330Ci has a 0-60 time of about 6.5 seconds.

The 3.0 gets better at around 20K. Expects around 6.5 sec to 60mph after the second scheduled servic

Maybe, but Motor Trend got a 5.8 from a 330xi sedan 5M when they came out.
