do not see how they can pull such a plan!!

There is no 25d engine offered in europe (as of now) on the f30 platform. So, it is either a:
- detuned 330d engine (unlikely, 6 cylinder engine),
- a completely new 4 banger 25d engine labeled as 328d for NA (possible but unlikely), or
- existing 320d 4 banger with boosted power to label as 328d in NA (325d in Europe).

The 320i is selling well in canada and so should a 320d do if introduced in that market.
