40 more horsepower
3 Stage air intake manifold
1 inch bigger wheel
Xenons
Power Seats
Logic 7 sound system
Extra chrome details

No mention of the brakes on the brochure, but I'm assuming that it is bigger.

I would love to have all of those above, but personally, I don't think it is worth the extra 6k. However, I must have those Xenons with angel eyes .

Although, I ordered a 330, I would agree that all of those items put together are not worth $6K. My feeling is that the only way anyone should buy these cars is European delivery, where you save a bundle.
