for 2001 E46 3 had over boosted steering, so Kevin, you should find out if the one you test drove was an early 01. I believe the late 01s have the correctly boosted steering.

rick...how would i find out if my friends car has a sport package ??

Sounds like a premium package one.

edit: oops, usually 3-spoke steering wheel = sports package. The 7-8 spoke 16" rims are premium, the 17" version are sport package on the 328i.

yeah check the steering wheel. there were several different wheels offered for sports package so it's hard to tell, plus the wheels are easy to change. the steering wheels are not so easy

i wanna b deek...ive always wanted an e36 m3...but cant afford it

I could tell a difference right way between tonys 323i and the 330i.

all it took was one corner.

even when tonys car was new the suspension was wayyy too soft for my taste.

I don't think it's premium package if it's those rims. Sport was 17" on the 328is me thinks. My little cousin has those rims on her 320i. :happysad:
