Second, it will probably be early summer before you can order an F30. Personally, I would wait. Everything from the styling, to the features of the F30 should be great.
Third, there is zero chance you will be able to get the I6 in the 2012 328i F30. The N20 is now the standard base level engine. See: 2012 528i and base Z4. Not that this is a bad thing! The N20 is probably better than the N52 for just about everything. You want a 2012 with the I6? You'll need to spring for the F30 335i.
I personally think the 2012 F30 328i with the turbo 4 will be a great ride.

I agree that the N20 in the 328i will be a good deal. Great economy and great hp/torque. I test drove a 2012 528 with N20 and was impressed...especially matched with the 8-speed auto. Very smooth and no turbo lag. With the reduced size of the 3 series w/o AWD, I think you will be very surprised with the N20!!
