Schaweet! You're welcome.

Of course, what I've said is purely an educated guess. Who knows - maybe BMW wows us with a twin-turbo arrangement (in whichever guise) that would signify a landmark event in mass-market cars.

Lol, that's so true, you never know with them. But it's good of course, as long they keep surprising us...pleasantly.

While I agree that BMW did make some wonderful 4 cylinders in the past, that was in the past. Hell their headquarters is a 4 cylinder building. But right now, it's the 6 cylinders that are the best engines in the line up... well the V8 and V10's are cool too. These are the engines that are racking up the awards, not the 4 cyl.

There's no way you can compare the engines from the 2002 and a 316i. Although this engine might prove me wrong.

Just to clarify...

is this supposed to be the production version of the Tii concept? Haven't been keeping up with the new lately.

I happen to own the latest 4-cylinder engine from BMW and the engine is magnficent (120i). Very fuel efficient and strong at low rpm even for N/A and the engine also like to be reeved all the way up to 7000 rpm without hesitation.
Stop living in the past Warot, there is absolutly no wrong with my car.

I knew you were going to respond, haha. While I know that the 4 cylinders are in no way bad (apart from the 1.6...), far from it, BMW's forte is the 6 cylinder. I don't think anyone car argue with that. That's what wins them countless Engine of the year awards.
