I stand corrected. I looked at the X3 in 2009 for my wife and they didn't seem to be available then. They are nice seats, particularly when you can have them ventilated and heated as well.

I wish we could get a definitive answer about this. Anybody have an ETA on when we'll get the official story?

Obviously BMW now knows what the 2012 28i engine will be, since they will be producing them in a couple of weeks. It seems to me the longer they delay in making the "official" announcement, the more certain it is that it will be a 4-cylinder. If the 2012 28i were to remain as a 6-cylinder, there would be no reason to keep that a secret. I think they want to let the dealers first sell off all of the in-stock 2011's, and finish delivering the remaining 2011 special orders that are still in the pipeline. (Of course that reasoning for the delay is just speculation on my part. However, it is a fact that I have been told by BMW Customer Service and by two dealers that it will be a 4-cylinder.)

Odd, my post disappeared?
Basically it was an article in the Sydney Morning Herald talking about the imminent release of the 20i, same fitout as the 20d and slightly cheaper. Due in Q4 - this from the head of BMW Australia. The 20i will be 135kw, down from 190kw. |

Some other interesting data points:
BMW has already announced the 528i will get a 4 (update: and 528xi, both available in US), yet it has not yet shown up as certified by CARB. So there's at least one model that's getting the N20 this fall (production starting September or October, I forget) that hasn't made it through California's "federalization" process. That would be encouraging if it weren't for the next paragraph below. Maybe they've just hit some snags in cert and it'll come down to the wire. The 2012 X3 xDrive 28i has already been certified by CARB with a 3-liter engine. It's certainly possible that they could re-certify with the N20 as well and just not release the 3-liter version, but that just seems unlikely. 2012 X3 production ends in March. It's too early for any kind of facelift, so the only thing that I can think of that makes sense for starting 2013 production in April is a new engine. X1 intro in the US has been put off until 2013. Could this be because they want to make sure the X3 has the N20 in place before the X1 comes in with the fancy new efficient engine? Bottom line is despite what 128guy was told I'm pretty sure there's not going to be an engine change this fall. I'd love to be wrong about this, but with the 2012 production run ending in March, tea leaves are pointing to a new engine when the early 2013 production spins up in April. That gives the X3+N20 combo time to gain some momentum before the X1 belatedly shows up in the US. Last edited by Penso di no; 09-03-2011 at 03:06 PM..

That's BS. They have the new prices (my CA sent me the PDF). Invoice numbers are on cars.com. Of course, up here the dealer's stock of '11s is already low so maybe they're a little looser-lipped.
