I must say I do like the 3.0 myself.. I have a 2.6 at the minute I also drove a 3.0 tonight and could easily tell the difference in speed...
You can remove egr, sai etc which also looks nice especially with some nice Magnacore Leads on...

I am toying with keeping a 3.0 engine for myself then doing some nice mods

Economy wise I felt the 3.2 was better around town with 19-20mpg compared to the 3.0 at 17-18mpg.  I really like the more angular wheels of 3.2.

  3.2 all the way.   It doesn't matter what car you buy if you drive it like a idiot it will cost u in fuel..  Drive it and look after it well and it will look after you

something wrong with those figures.. even autos are faster than this..
 
 
my manual 2.5 v6 can easily beat an E92 320 manual which is 8.1 secs.. although mine is a bit modded

These figures are all wrong, my 2.2 could do the 60 dash in 9 seconds!

Not really fussed who supplied them, but they are wrong 

[Michael2.6]

What are your figures could you give me an example

[tunnie]

Your figures don't quote manual or auto for starters, but a 3.0 manual is around 7.5, auto tad slower around 8.0 seconds.

Got the official specs somewhere, but you V6 data is way off

[Andy B]

Various figures on the ABS site http://www.autobahnstormers.org/ Michael's figures don't look far off on the 0-60 times, maybe a tad slow for top end.
