I think the V8 would still be relevant - though it makes more sense now for people to get the I6 TT.

I agree it will be relevant.
I also think bringing the N54 engine to replace the N52 engine will have positive effect on sales as well.

When will this engine be launched anyway? im guessing mid 08 earliest since the model lineup is already pretty decent with 3 engines varieties. I also feel this engine will only be available in north america just as the 535i is only available in that region and not europe or asia. What do you lads think?
