Do not want. Just more models to have to certify and develop, that won't sell well. I wish they would rather develop a new engine or custom state of tune. How many models now offer the 2.0L N20 in some form?

How are they going to increase sales by offering this? What is the compelling business case to offer this model to customers who weren't already just going to get a BMW anyway, and most likely a 3GT/X3/328xiT with a solid amount of options for the same price anyway? If the customer simply wants this in order to be "different" from the sea of F30's out there in SoCal, the F31 and 3GT are already rare enough.

Make fewer, better models and instead of spending development money on variants, spend it on more thorough testing and quality controls. I drove an F31 and didn't get the sense it was built as well as the E91 i used to have.
