Although that will piss all X3 28i owners off in the US since currently it gets the same MPG as the 35i. The new engine is supposed to get 30 mpg combined in the X1 (US figures), so probably 27-28 in the X3. This engine option would make me think twice before getting a 35i as performance is supposed to be excellent as well. You can read about it on bimmerpost past articles.

any confirmation (yet) of when 2012 models will be out and if it will be much different than 2011?
