like you said... that engine in the 3... That would be AWESOME.
Now, if they go just a tad bigger (2.5 - 3Liter) and add the turbos... N54 type power with less problem and more torque, lighter and better MPG? now who could argue with THAT?
We already have what you just described, it's called the 335d and it is also properly impressive
