Three cylinder in-line engines are a tremendous idea. I was actually hoping that BMW would make the 2.0 litre N20 3-cylinders instead of six. Of course this doesn't fit with the 500cc cylinder module model so too bad. 3-cylinders definately have much nicer characteristics than 4-cylinders... anybody who's ridden a triumph daytona 675cc against a Japanese 4-cylinder will agree with this even if the performance of the japanese machines exceeded that of the Triumph.
