BMW 328i F30 | 1505 kg | FI 2.0l I4 | 255 PS | 350 Nm | 0-100 km/h: 5,9 sec
BMW 335i F30 | 1585 kg | FI 3.0l I6 | 306 PS | 400 Nm | 0-100 km/h: 5,5 sec

328i is 6.000 € cheaper than 335i.

The I6 does not justify better performance anymore, compared to the I4, unless it has 640i F13 engine spec, 320 PS and 450 Nm. With this spec in the 1 Series it will enter 1 Series M E82 territory, what can not happen, as the M2 F22 has to be the top of all. The fact being in BMW model designation have nothing more to do with engines, there very well can be an M135i, but not powered by a N55 as we may think, but buy an M tuned N20 with close to 300 PS.

Now BMW maybe really decided to put N55 in the F20, but from what I know it cannot be. Time will tell.
