Not fair as that is Xdrive which might show slightly higher drivetrain loss.
Still, when converted it looks like 170-175whp and 240-250lbs tq to the wheels.

If it's like the 28i then very likely to be conservative. |

I thought you had posted a dyno which measures power to the wheels.

OK, so the difference between a 328ix and a 320ix is roughly $3,000.
Other than clueless brand whores who know nothing about cars, who in their right mind would not pay that difference? |

This really sux i feel like they are cheapening the brand, so i have a same car but its 20 k more, it makes you wonder if that 20 k is worth the power difference and minor cosmetic ( m-sport)

2 years ago I was able to buy a 6 cylinder 3 series with the same money. Thank you BMW! Also, good bye BMW. I guess after owning 3 consecutive 3 series sedans, I might need to look somewhere else. The problem is that the others might be even worse.

Real enthusiasts are always harking for a great handling car with decent power. This is it. This car harkens back to the E30. It has PLENTY of power. Yet everyone wants to complain about how "posers" will be leasing these in mass and how they just want a badge.
So what is is fellas — do we want a great handling car at a reasonable cost with decent power or do we want to continue to make fun of sorority girls and secretaries for not being "true enthusiasts" and "badge whores" even if the sales they generate allow us to get these cars in the first place? Who cares? They are building better cars then they ever have before and because they dropped a couple cylinders doesn't diminish that (remember the E30 318is and M3).

Passion for the car has nothing with getting the top model or the price of the car. I passion was connected to the price, then I should have much more passion for my car yhan you since I paid $120 000 for a 320i... I got the 320i with the M Sport adaptive driving package because it's a great driving machine, and the most fun I have is driving on twisty roads going a maximum of 60mph. For this I don't need to pay $50 000 extra in taxes for a 335i. Unless you live in Germany you will never use the full potential of a 335i anyway, and then only when there is little traffic. |

I guess the only advantage is that it's cheaper.

I think the 320i is just a detuned 328i. In a perfect world, that means software is the only difference between the two... (aside from the exhaust pipe)

On another note. After thinking about it, I'm not terribly upset about this car. With adaptive suspension and a 6mt it could be lots of fun. I think BMW has realized that their prices are just getting too high for many in the US that are interested in the brand, and are willing to bet that Americans are such badge whores that they'll overlook the 320i part for the BMW. Good move? We'll see, but I think so.

Any differences in the engine are intentional and introduced by specification.
