BMW Adds 4-Cylinder Turbo to X3
It looks like BMW will be getting a good amount of use out of its 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder. Now the X3 is getting this engine to replace the 3.0-liter six-cylinder in the X3 xDrive28i.
http://www.autoblog.com/2012/02/17/b...o-power-to-x3/ I would normally be against putting 4-cylinders in premium brands, but from what I've read, this 2.0 turbo engine is supposed to be very impressive. In the new 328i sedan, the 4-cylinder turbo gets an EPA rating of 36mpg highway and a 0-60 in under 6.0 secs - besting the 6-cylinder it is replacing. This engine should improve the X3 on those fronts as well. BMW just keeps getting better. |

Agreed! Can I just say how nice it is to have some BMW feedback in this forum?!
When does the xDrive come out on the 3-series? Fall? |

As for the 3 Series xDrive, your guess is as good as mine. I would probably say Fall as well. For me, I'll probably be waiting until late next year to get a 3 Series coupe with xDrive. At least it will give me time to put more money away. I guess we'll see. |

Good idea. Now I just need to find some patience somewhere.
