The 272 hp car I'm coming from that I think is better value than the 430i cost me $38k. It had some options even the M3 can't be specced into.
A full spec 430i GC would cost me $53k. Compared to my previous car - totally not worth it, in my opinion. The 430i is initially cheaper but it has fewer options by default. The moment you spec it up, it comes dangerously close to an M440i, so you're paying premium just for the badge, with a lot better 4 cylinder alternatives out there for less money.
My full spec M440i GC cost me $58k and brings a lot more value than the 430i. It literally has no competition in this price bracket.
Both an M3 and an i4 M40i in a similar spec to my M440i would cost me $79k, so they're way over budget.
Once you see those prices, a 430i makes zero sense. And the 430i feels noticeably slower than my older car, yet the M440i feels noticeably quicker than it. Go figure.

How did your “full spec” 440 xDrive GC cost only $58k? That car is about $70k+ here.
