Of course, it will eat some sales of the 335i, but I wonder if the lost sales will be significant enough to worry BMW. I also wonder if this engine could be modded/chipped as easily as the 335i's. For some customers, that will be a very important deciding factor. 10/11/2008 7:40:21 AM

Interesting. I wonder if it will live up to one's durability and longevity expectations of a diesel. 10/14/2008 4:50:21 PM |

^how about 425lb-ft of torque and most likely 40mpg on the highway. And a fun driving experience.
Is that something you might be interested in?
