I can sort of see where they are going, maintaining the power levels but moving that into an (in theory) more economical 2.0l 4 cyl engine. Two problems with that, firstly, economy in my 123d was about the same as my 330d and secondly, the smooth delivery of a 6 cyl is far superior. The d3 bi-turbo is a great bit of kit, but very much a car for enthusiasts rather than mainstream buyers.
