Automobile Magazine claims that BMW intends to bring over the 4 cylinder diesel in the 3 series. I can't post a link because the info is only in the magazine (iPad in my case), and not on the website.
I think BMW will do whatever it has to to meet upcoming fuel economy regs, and I have a hard time believing that 2 mode transmission "hybrids" will get them where they need to be. It will get really interesting for BMW as a brand when the new fwd shitboxes start showing up.
