Best regards, south

Yeah, f'ing marketing guys put their 2 cents in far too often for my liking.

I agree with what someone else said earlier that this inline 6 engine choice would be too close to the main stream 335i for my liking. Even if they went for a dual charger system (turbo + supercharger) would make it different enough to separate it from the rest and give it that instant punch.

Maybe the engine choice isn't that important as long as the end result meets everyones expectations.
