E90 3-series 325i & 330i both with 3.0L engines
The 325i will produce something like 215 hp and about 180 lb/ft torque and the 330i will have 255hp and 220 lb/ft of torque. The torque curve is very beefy and comes in earlier and sustained longer throughout the RPM band vs. the outgoing M54 engines. The difference in HP/Torque is accounted for different intake system. The 330i will have a 3-stage intake induction system and the 325i will only have a 1-stage intake induction system. Of course, engine management software will be different for both engines. The N62 produces about 13% more power and 12% better fuel economy because the various new technology including valvetronic. The magneisum valve cover also makes the engine weigh less. |

Yah not to mention all BMW's are going to be getting the Active Cruise option which allows you to set a time interval and speed with cruise (between 20-110). The car will go that speed and maintain a specified distance from any other vehicles....pretty soon you aren't going to need a driver.
Also the new 330's (I don't know about other E90s) will have the "card" ignition with START/STOP button. Pretty niffty.

Car and Driver article
Read the C&D article this morning - there is some conflicting info out there. THey state that the 325 will have a 2.5ltr engine, while the 330 will have the 3.0 ltr. They will both be the new design - but two different displacements (as today). Dunno which one is right...
