There will be many more than two "flavors", but if you are talking about the US, then the 320i moniker is extremely unlikely. The I4 in the US will either be called the 328i or the 330i. Elsewhere around the world there will probably also be a 325i, 320i, 318i, all powered by 4 cylinder turbo engines (2.0L or 1.6L), and a 316i powered by a 3 cylinder turbo engine.

However, the F32 and F33 will come in THESE two flavors:
"330i" ~ NA I6 producing around 270 HP (same engine from N52 330i)
"335i" ~ Turbo I6 producing 300 HP

Have to agree with SamS (which echoes what I'd said in my last post) - the naturally aspirated I6 (and, in fact, the naturally aspirated BMW itself) is gone. Time to move on. And like he says, if you want N/A then buy one now (I highly recommend an M3 over a 328i though
).
