Yes, the 4-cylinder thingy is just a shame for us, BMW admirers. But, unfortunately, the majority of BMW drivers wouldn't even know how many cylinders their car has... Or worse, what a cylinder is... And to stay competitive and to be in line with regulations (reduce average CO2 emissions on entire car fleet), BMW just had to build smaller engines.

I'm just hoping that one day, the non-turbo 6-cylinder returns to their cars. For me, that is one of the main reasons to drive BMW.

4 cylinder is practical but it doesn't sound good, it sounds cheap.
Steering is a big turn off.
I hope the 2 series will come out good.
Time will tell, if Audi starts making good raw cars and AudiFest starts(if not already), enthusiasts ll start jumping.
