It's upsetting to see the end of naturally aspirated engines in BMW's
Lets just hope the turbo 4 cyl's don't have HPFP problems

Does this mean the 5th gen M3 will be out as a 2014 or 2015 model year? Either way, I'm gonna enjoy this V8 while I still can!

Supposedly not in the E9x. The new F30 comes out next year and will get one or more variants of this engine right from the beginning.
Best regards, south

Seems like there will still be the turbocharged I6 ... jeez you can really feel the end of the N/A I6, V8, V10 engines... If I were u I'll hold on to that V8 for the rest of my life! Things went really fast this time... bummer

I think the 5dr hatch and maybe a rumored sedan will launch first, the coupe and vert will launch one year later as usual.

Does anybody know if switching over from the I6 28i to the I4 brings with it a lower price? Trying to gauge the cost of an X1...
