uphill generally gives the car with more torque advantage.

also, it is possible but if driver isn't a factor...then probably not.

Was it an auto. He would need more mods to kill the 330ci I think.

For reference, a manual-transmission '01 BMW 330Ci we tested did 0-to-60 in 5.9 seconds and the quarter in 14.5 seconds at 96.6 mph.

whenever a manufactures lists stats, they are going to be manual for speed since manual is always faster. you usually have to search pretty hard to find auto stats.

I think the auto should be closer in performance to a TL type S.
From consumer guide:

Lively in any form, especially with manual transmission. BMW pegs rear-drive 330s at 7 sec 0-60 mph with automatic, 6.4 with manual. We timed test manual 330xi sedan at 6.8 sec, automatic 325i sedan at 8.1.
