The 4cyl does better in the numbers in every category.

I mean, yeah, I'd prefer that it was, say, a 2L or 2.5L turbo 6, but the base 6 is just too lacking for the weight of the xDrive touring.

I'd consider the 4cyl though I'd really prefer the 330d or 335i, xDrive, 6speed.
I agree with an automatic transmission its pretty underpowered but with a stick and a few bolt on mods and a flash it equals or betters the original E90 330i.

The primary reason I went with a 328xiT over an A4 avant was the 200hp four cylinder and no manual transmission. In this segment in North America its the only real wagon IMHO choice until they give us what we really want.
