Probably because that model isn't avaialble in the states.....yet. I have seen discussions on it, usually brought up by owners in Europe but not nearly as many.

The 320i has the same N20 4-cylinder engine making 184bhp and 270Nm torque, essentially detuned from the higher out N20 found in the x28i models. It was first used in the Z4, X1, and X3 20i models since 09/11 and now got put into the F30 3er.

Problem with the 320i is when you get options, you are too-close0for-comfort to a Canadian 328i. Specially when you want a sunroof and xenon.... wait the same can be said for the USA 328i vs 335i. lol!

The 320i is available in Canada for about $8k less than the 328i.
