As much as I love our F30 328i, the motor's sound is so uninspiring. It sounds like a (quieter) diesel at idle and never really gets me excited like my N55 or N54 do. If they can get turbo lag to at least N54 levels (the N20 has noticeably more lag down low) and get it to sound like a proper BMW Motorsport motor then I would be fine with an inline four but as of today I would really prefer a straight six and wouldn't mind dealing with the weight penalty.

If this thread were about predicting the future rather than voting on our personal preference, I would say the I4 is the much more likely motor.
