I think it's that last statement that's very much up for discussion -- we can't really know until we drive one. BMW may surprise me, but I worry that a turbo 4 won't deliver what I consider to be the essential characteristics of what a BMW is all about. It better be a whole lot better than the utilitarian engine that Audi stuffs into the A4.
