interesting that they are calling it a 3 series though, originally the E90 coupes were supposed to be the 4 series (following the new odd = 4 dr, even = 2dr scheme)

I read an article that said they were going to start that it 2008. I'm surprised they wouldn't just do it for new 2007 cars so they wouldn't have to change the name after one year. That's just silly.

from the article:

"Why, you ask, would BMW go to all the trouble of making this complex turbo engine when a V-8 would be a simpler and purer means to the same end?"

no, I would ask, why go through all the trouble making this complex turbo engine for just another 47HP and just barely hitting the 100HP/L that is quite attainable without a turbo at all?

Now if the article simply said, 2007 BMW Coupe to Lose 500lbs with Absolutly No Other Changes, then I'd be excited. :roll:

Ahh, what a refreshing change that would be.

For any manufacturer, actually.
