As for the badges the 128 and 130 and the 135 need to have different badges to differentiate between the engine output tho all of them are a 3.0l engine

Still haven't found a 4 banger that sounded good. Even Audi's vaunted 2.0t in the 2010 A4 to me sounds like s#$%. I wouldn't mind this as an option to slot below the 328i, but sounds like they're killing the last of the NA I6 engines in the US. To all the N52 bashers, keep in mind BMW is giving us the crappiest 3.0 NA motor available. The Euro guys get the N53 3.0 I6 NA WITH direct injection and a variable intake manifold while our 3.0 NA I6's do without.
