Don't tell me there's actually to be an 18d. BMW's are such different cars in the American market than they are in the European market. It's not enough power. I just can't believe that. I thought the 20d was slow....The only models they should offer are the 20d and the 35d. Why is there this need to cover all ends of the spectrum. And what difference will there be between the 18d and the 20d? What about between the 30d and the 35d? What are you paying for extra except for 20 extra horses?
That's why BMW rid BMWNA of the 323i and the 325i. They don't stand against one another as very different.
Audi got rid of the 3.2 in the A4 because if somebody wanted a faster A4, they could go and buy an S4 for just $3,000 more. There was no market for two cars, 2.0T and 3.2, that were so similar, and then a third that might've seen poor sales had the 3.2 continued production. So they cut out the niche-filler.
