I6 is buttery smooth and balanced, thus still retains the iconic engine configuration associated with BMW.

The N55 turbo is a sweet powerful engine that doesn't disappoint in the least.

BMW isn't putting too much distinction between these two offerings.
Once you've optioned both versions with the typical pkgs and options there isn't much difference in price. At this price point $3000 isn't much of a difference. This is especially true with leasing, and 50% of BMW sales are leases. The monthly payment difference is about $50.

For me, I'm actually more curious about the 328i being the better handler due to the lower weight up front. I appreciate better handling over extra power. So, I've got to get some drivers seat time.
