    And the diesel does it again, Why only the 2.0litre why not the 3.0litre twin turbo, or do they do that already.
    I’d forgotten about Alpinas as everyone is talking about M3′s and 5′s. Rare as Hens. Love it.

    the 2 litre might be lighter in the front of the car to increase handling

    But the 3 series in standard form already uses the 3.0litre engine Mitch. funny my surname is mitchelmore seems like i’m talking to myself.

    The 2.0 is so that it gets ~45 mpg. This is designed to be a really nice daily driver rather than a speed demon. Personally this is the exact combination I would want, but it’s unavailable in the USA, and for the same price in the US I could get an M3.
