I seriously dont like the way americans market european models.
For instance in Europe you can get a 320i with almost all the availabe options and colors...not so with base models in the US or canada.
Another thing I dont get i why they dont offer 4 cylinder models in the US and canada, I really think that there is demand for such a car especially if the price is right.
the performance of the new 4 cyl is more than acceptable and i'm sure it gets more than decent milage so what gives?
