Guys, take it easy! After all, Honda is the mother company. 
The TSX regardless of what anyone says is still a 4 cyl and the Accord EX we should be referring to is a 6.
Here's the facts:
TSX : 200 hp 166 pound-feet of torque
Accord EX 6: 240 hp and 212 pound-feet of torque
It is a plain fact that while the TSX may get off the line faster due to lighter weight and tall ratios, but when the TSX is topping off, the smooth 6cyl EX will have plenty of power to spare. My CL-S doesn't break a sweat doing in the 85-90mph range. I suppose the EX wont be too far off the CL's output.
Plus, throw on the AC, a couple of people in the back seat and lets see how much passing power the 4cyl TSX has compared to the EX!

Oh,sorry I forgot to use my damn spell check, I write to post shit not because I need to please your 4 year college university degree I Q level I'm sorry for that. The magazine (and I forget which one) car and driver lets say they called it a POOR Bmw copy underpowered and does not handle like a BmW. so 28,000 with navi huh wow for a few more hours a week in labor I'd save a few more g's and get a cl type s its better, thats the car that whooped the BMW but never head to head on the cover of a magazine because the cl would have kicked its ass

Well the 330ci is more expensive, by about 3k... But as far as performance I'm pretty sure the 330ci is a little better, ESPECIALLY handling, like you said. From what I see the 0-60 is the same for both. Either way, IMO the BMW looks a ton better.
