Check out the 320d in Europe, it gets 68 MPG!!!!!!!!!!

AND maybe you didn't think of the higher costs of the diesel engine in the 335d and the premium at the pump for diesel fuel, which doesn't recover costs for at least 50,000 miles in most cases. Furthermore, if oil to run out–then would an EREV not be the best choice??

I dislike a four cylinder for it's coarseness and limited power–especially in a nicer vehicle in that such as a BMW.

28 mpg is nothing compared to 40+ for the 335d and with this we get 0-60 in 6 seconds. THE OIL IS RUNNING OUT FASTER THAN YOU THINK! But then again with a comment like that you don't think do you? Keep aiming low and maybe Chrysler will hire you.

The 328 and 128 already achieve, what 28 mpg? Isn't that acceptable??

I would love to see a 4 cylinder 1 series. Now make it a 4 banger oil burner and you have a sale.

and no one should also ever think that they will get floor mats with the purchase of a BMW

No one should have the expectation that a four cylinder 3 series or 1 series will be less expensive than the cars that have sixes now. Development of turbo fours that provide improved fuel economy and performance will cost money that will be reflected in the base price of the cars.
