Going 4cyl is literally the worst decision they could make for the brand imo

Having the 235i and probably 1m faster than it is no bueno
I think that power won't be the "point" of this car--more about handling and balance. My opinion of course...

You want big power, I think you get an M3/4...or if you can swing it, an M5/6. The comment above about "soul less" seems more bent on feel and handling, rather than grunt...

BMW has shown a propensity to "slot" their respective power figures based on the model and price range. I wouldn't expect this to be any different.
