Exactly

, if you want stock reliable power, then the 40i would be perfect, and you don't have to mess around tuning the 30i to it's power level and degrading the engine and parts quickly.

And if you really want to have a bit more power and sound and want to keep warranty, the MPPK will be available for the 40i, I believe it increased HP from 320 to 355HP and 332TQ to 369lbs TQ.

I currently have the 435 with PPK. It's pretty quick but not "throw you back in your seat" quick. Like any FI car, you get used to the power and the itch for more comes on strong. Unfortunately my car is a lease and I don't feel like going down the dark rabbit hole of modding as I did with my previous Bimmer.

Ditto with this. He couldn't tell me what else was new though - what were you told?

Anyone know if 6MT will still be an option on the 430/330?

Canadian order guide for the 4 is attached. It appears to be an option for the 440 and the 340 only, but this may be different in the US.

Pretty sure 4 series LCI isn't until next year.

LCI isn't the engines or new iDrive.

Redesigned front and rear fascia, new headlights like the F30 would be the LCI and I think that is Spring/Summer 2017

What can I say? I guess I assumed this was the LCI as it seems like a lot of new features, not to be considered the LCI, but in any case, I like the car as designed. My interest was not if there are some minor cosmetic adjustments or not, but was when the new engines and some of the new features that are currently available in the 340 would be available.

Ah, that only has 430i xdrive though. Wondering if base model will have it available...

Really hoping the Gran Coupe will finally get it as an option too
