Technically, I don't think they have, although SCOTT has. Maybe I missed an official BMW press release though. Either way, yes, its pretty much accepted fact now that the 1, 3, 5, X1, X3, Z4, will have the 2L turbo 4 as the base model in the US (these will be mid-range models ROW), replacing the non-turbo 6 in those applications.

The new engine gets the 28 designation.
So it's confirmed that the Z4 30i will indeed become the Z4 28i?

Personally I think it would make more sense to just call everything 30i, 40i, 50i, 60i. If not right away though, I could see them moving toward that in the next 3 years or so as the 4 and 6 cyl engines get updated across the lineup and power gets bumped up.
