My Ride: 130i, 265 HP, just serious extras
There is a even better source on BMW site:

Choose the pdf "Modelle und technische Daten" (no translation necessary
Works the same for all other models also (1,3,5, etc.)

I have it since End Oktober, 2,5 months. Its awesome, I am coming from a E34 540i V8, but the 130i is really cool. Absolute go-kart feeling. Also, most 130i delivered so far have more power than stated, I would rank mine around 280 HP, with Vmax limitation removed it goes 274 km/h.
There are lots of dicussions about the interiour, some like it some do not. I do. If you have specific questions just ask!
There are 2 pics in my sig.

It is the air intake that has been modified from the "old" 3.0i engine with 258 HP, which gives it 265 HP. In addition to that, those few 130i which went out until now do seem too have more power, at least the majority of them.
A buddys 130i was manufactured one day before mine, he got it, drove it for 2000 km and had some modification done (compressor). On the power test stand he had 279 HP before compressor, 324 HP afterwards. Before it came in, we were driving totally equall, which makes me say mine has about same HP. Also other 130i are reporting similious behavior with respect to more power than advertised.

look at the 330i on www.e90post.com they give the 0-200 something like 24seconds if my mind isnt playing tricks... since the 5series is slightly heavier you might add a second to the result, and you should
have it !
have it !
A curb weight difference equal to or less than variance in driver weight accounting for an entire second? I think not. We're just going to have to wait for a real test.

JUST making sure i dont trick him with a low value !
