Hi, welcome to the forum. [:)]
Are you referring to the 330i Performance Package vs the 330i Sport Package? The Performance Package for the 330i gives more aggressive bodywork, 10 more horsepower, a short-throw manual transmission, 18" wheels, Alcantara M Sport Steering Wheel, tighter suspension, and some other stuff. The 330i Sport Package provides 17" low-profile tires, sport suspension, sport seats, leather sport steering wheel. The 330i Performance Package is basically another step up from a 330i w/Sport Package. Unless SE means something totally different...

It's only 10 hp on paper, but I don't recall 10 hp making that big a difference in 0-60 times and other performance measures in any other car. Totally worth it, especially since it comes with the M-Tech body kit as well.

Oh wait, you're in London. From the British BMW mags I read, it gather that the SE is like a "value package" that includes common options standard. Great deal. I think one mag mentioned that the SE cars are cheaper than buying all the options together. Just check the UK BMW website to make sure.

We have normal & SE models in NZ.

Basically the difference here is that SE = luxury models. Leather interior, parking sensors, foglamps, bigger wheel rims, auto-aircon, multi-function steering wheel & a few cosmetic things.

Note- engine is identical.
