So what is the difference between the clubsport and the sport model? other than the reduction in weight. Both have sport suspension the same alloy wheels, same body kit except for the rear spoiler (which i think isnt as nice as the lip of the M3 and the sport models). please help?

20kg is hardly a huge weight saving, just the difference between a lardy driver and one less fond of pies.

They could have at least upped the power a little, given it big brakes, Recaro seats for the front and lightweight bench for the rear and finally removed the sound proofing! Instant 50kg weight saving as well.

It's more BMW Repsport, than Clubsport.

At least Porsche know how to do a 'club' model!

Just get the 330D Sport, add £600 for a new chip et voila - 225 hp and 360 lbft - and its cheaper too!

Bizarre.

If BMW gives the M3 CSL (a.k.a. Batmobile) the green light, there will be four 3-series high performance models: 330 Sport, 330 Clubsport, M3, M3 CSL. If you add in the aforementioned chipping and possible tuning, you've got a real and confusing tussle for the "ultimate 3-series".

But then again, Who cares????
