Boilerplate stats are:

1. 254HP/292lb-ft
2. 3600lb curb weight
3. 0-60 5.4 seconds(official 5.6 seconds)
4. mpg 30 city/40 hwy per my driving style

But its greatest attribute is 50/50 + classic feel and handling that is somewhere between E39 and E46. Usually Model 3/Accord 2.0T are 5 car lengths behind after cloverleafs.

Unlike E46/E90(and most of F30) days, US-spec 330i base includes these standard options in MSRP price to match with competitions:

1. moonroof
2. factory alarm
3. Android Auto/Apple CarPlay ready
4. 8-way sports seat
5. leather sports steering wheel
6. 18-inch V-spoke bi-color orbit grey 780 rims
7. anthracite headliner
8. auto climate control
9. HiFi(non-HK) stereo
10. 1-year Sirius
11. backup camera(required by law)
12. LED adaptive headlight + auto high beam + DRL
13. Navigation
14. lane departure warning + steering intervention
15. front collision warning + city braking
16. rain sensor wiper, garage door opener, auto-dimming mirrors
17. fold down seats
18. wood trims
19. sport line decors
20. Connected Package Pro
21. BMW Assist eCall, BMW Tele-Services
22. Hands free BT and USB audio
23. dual storage AGM + Li ion(not as good as mild hybrid of M340i)

M-sport package with 704 suspension is $3800 MSRP.

Blind spot detection, active cruise control, parking assist (those are the ADAS's available in i4) are extra $$$$ packages, but some are no longer offered due to chip shortage.

Also comfort access now does not come with trunk kick, passenger seat has no lumbar support nor width adjust, yikes.

Latest production only has digital gauges with MSRP bumped up by $700. Some do like digital gauges, but base analog gauges in mine are very nice.

Nice.

I'm just dying to finally order and get in the queue.
I'm in position number one at my dealer.

Not sure where that puts me for overall queue
