"The smaller sales target is part of a bigger rethinking of U.S. strategy that O'Donnell will present to his German bosses in January. That plan could include the reintroduction of four-cylinder powertrains, O'Donnell said. Currently, the smallest powerplant in the BMW brand's U.S. lineup is a six-cylinder engine."

BMW sells a lot of 4-cyl cars all over the world. BMW has a hard time selling them in the US because they still price those cars too high, but BMW has been moving prices upward for all it's model lines, so I guess they'll have some room on the lower end for a 4 cyl car.
