True, but did you see the other thread with the global 5 series information?
There is still a 530i in the lineup with a naturally aspirated 6 cylinder, now making 272hp. It might not come to your region, but presumably it will be available in much of the world (not US though).

Whereas in the U.S. it is an increase in HP from 230 to 240, elsewhere its actually reduced, although torque is higher and at lower revs.
Performance increases by 0.4s in 0-100km, but for the 255hp spec it is only 0.2s.
And this is before the consideration of driving dynamics/ characterics of a 3.0NA vs. 2.0T.
