V4
1) 0-60 is half a second faster
2) More fuel-efficient
3) Lighter engine
Inline 6
1) faster after 90+
2) Better sounding engine?
3) Smoother feel?
Taking into consideration the I6 costs at least 5k more, practicially speaking and on paper, the V4 looks better to me. Am I missing something?

If you compare the 528i with the 535i your pro/con is not entirely correct. The 535i is faster everywhere in acceleration. This thread has mainly been about the pros and cons of the old vs the new 528i (or 4cyl vs 6cyl).
If you open the hood of your new 528i you will also see that it's not a V4 engine under there
