And it was superior in every way to your car, clearly. =)

the -30i is back. What is the actual engine this time? A 2.0 turbo?!

So he’s got the DCT, and one of the paddles behind the steering wheel wasn’t made correctly so it like a piece of sharp metal sticking out, so that’s getting fixed, and they’re updating the connected drive cause they’re changing the radio it communicates with. He had in there a week or so ago to update it, he tried it this week and it didn’t work, so back to the shop.

Yeah, at least the 428i with a 2.0L turbo made sense. One of the first turbo cars BMW sold was the 745i (yes I know the 2002 turbo predates the e23 745i), it was a 3.2L turbo. BMW got 45 buy multiplying the displacement by 1.4 to give the number they said the turbo made the engine equivalent to in displacement. So 2.0 x 1.4 = 2.8, least that makes sense if you’re gonna go back and look at the origin of BMW nomenclature. Now it’s like well, how about some random numbers, that’ll work.

Why did I read “loaner” as “boner”?

Guess I should do that. Well I’m gonna go with my dad to return the car later, so might just talk to them in person.

I think the letter said to just wait to hear from BMW or the dealer, but I’ve waited long enough, especially considering this piece of cheap shit in my steering wheel has the potential to be fatal to me or my wife...

Doug DeMuro got it right, it’s just marketing numbers at this point (bigger = better). BMW 4300i should mean “4-series, has 300hp”.
Nobody buying BMWs cares about natural-aspiration-equivalence, if that is even a thing.

It is all about marketing, most people are just buying the badge.
Turbos have come along way since the 80s, it was more of a historical reference for BMW nomenclature. I doubt there’s and natural aspiration equilivance anymore, if there ever was.
sm70- why not Duesenberg?

What’s the difference between this and a 330i Gran Tourismo? Just the lift back?

The 430i also has a lift back, so I’m not really sure.

They put a 4 where the 3 used to be.
Now they can charge you more.

what did they do to fix it? I had exactly the same problem on mine, it was so sharp my finger bled once from being cut by the edge lol. I just filed it with some sandpaper.

They just replaced the paddle, since it’s still under warranty.
