Then continue building NA I6 variants here in Spartanburg to be sold to the US market. I'd get a US built F30 if it mean I could get a NA I6. (I have a D now, but was planning on selling it and getting a F30 once my loans are paid off and won't have to drive to a rural area anymore!) We have dumb ass CAFE, but at least displacement isn't penalized and BMW can also avoid a ton of issues like currency exchange and tariffs.
