That means it's getting a V8, right?

There shifting to a turbo 7 for the power of an 8, and the efficiency of a 6.

Nope. Just means it will cost more...

Hopefully they do a M260Li with a twin turbo V12 soon. That seems like the only logical next step.

And 230 is the new 228.

Not confusing, nope, not at all...

The badge delete option keeps getting more and more attractive.

Oh, right, I think I remember reading about this.

The 230i/330i/430i will get the new B48 four cylinder that currently powers the, uh...225i Active Tourer.

Definitely not confusing..

Engine bay will be so packed that BMW guarantees spark plugs and oil are a lifetime item for the car.

That Active Tourer set off a bomb in the middle of their already ridiculous naming/numbering scheme...

Louder speakers and an increased price tag.

No, it would have a twin-turbo 1.6L three-cylinder.

So if one just settles with only buying M cars, you won't have to worry about this silliness!

Just wait. An M2.5 can't be that far off.

Now that you've said it, it will likely happen.

Huehuehue they already do for the plugs.

The real question is when is the M925i gran coupe x-drive active-e convertible going to start production"

Welp there goes my chances of getting a f01 or a F10 that doesn't have rod knock or an oil change.

Party-vi > unclevanos (Ovaltine Jenkins) 11/13/2014 at 16:55

Just pick one up with less than 100k miles. That's the recommended change interval for plugs and trans fluid.

The 228i, with its 2.0L engine, is becoming the 230i. The M235i, with its 3.0L engine, is becoming the M240i. It makes no sense, whatsoever.

45i = 4.4L V8 Turbo

40i = 4.4L V8

35i = 3.0L Turbo

30i = 3.0L NA

25i = 2.0L Turbo

20i = 2.0L NA (not really a thing, but whatever)

2015 BMW 335i xDrive Gran Turismo M Sport.

That's the real name of a car, on the road today. Seriously.

The first number for the engine L, the 5 for if it's turbo'd. Makes sense, doesn't it?

BMW no longer makes any NA engines, and both the 20i and 28i use 2.0L engines.

Pretty soon, the 330i will use a 2.0L engine... Madness!
