In theory, one of these might provide acceptable motivation for an X3 in the US. However, as I said above, the X3 is reported to be getting an I6, so its probably a moot point. Nevertheless, one of these two four cylinder options is rumored for the US X1 (and Mini Countryman); hopefully it ends up being the latter.

Yes I know those two (23d is a great engine- was BMWs first twin turbo diesel I believe- and 25d that will shortly replace it looks even better) but they are not currently utilised in the X3 in any market so unlikely to be the oil burner under the bonnet in the US.
