Sorry to disappoint you, but exactly since the E90 the 320i is a 4 cylinder.
It used to be a 6 in the E36 and E46, but much to many people's disliking they changed it to 4pot in the E90.
The 2.0d is still a 4pot, too.

someone from the E90post that drives a 320 in HK told me is a 6 cylinder. Anyways strange stuff, I thought most people like the 6 cylinder setup.

If I remember correctly, the E60 520i is a four cylinder 2.2L engine. Compare with a 2.5L six cylinder is a different thing. Again the spec you listed is numbers from BMW, when I try 0-100 in my car it doesn't feel 10s to me so I think is worth it given all the trouble you have. I have enjoy my 523 very much and as you can see in my sig. I have been driving this 2.5L since the last generation 3 and 5 and this engine I think is amazing and compare with the E39 the response is much better and so is the acceleration I think because of a lighter car.
When the E60 comes out with the 523 I just went and get it and did not regret the decision of not going for the 525 as I tested both and the power difference is not day and night but I think the edge is given to the 525 in high speed, not much opportunity for me to go 200km here so the difference doesn't bother me at all.
