I don't think the posters from the US market really understand what is happening globally and in the EU market with the upcoming emissions restrictions.

Either BMW adapts and creates smaller, more efficient engines, or they pay massive taxes and fees, eventually going out of business. Does this really sound like something you guys want; BMW closing its doors forever?


Also, there seems to be plenty of discussion with this as an 'entry level' engine. The 28i model is an entry level model for a only a small part of the BMW line-up in the USA (1 series, X3, 5 series), however, where we will see a better and more efficient 'entry level' (323/320 - depending on year)

So that brings me to question, what will be the next engine produced as a detuned version of this engine, or potentially an all new engine to fill in the 323 position.
