Unfortunately, as the WSJ (apologies for the indirect link), Car and Driver, and many others lamented a few years ago, we truly are living at the tail end of the horsepower era.
It will be interesting to see if BMW can maintain its "ultimate driving machine" heritage over the next few years. One thing's for certain: four bangers, auto-start-stop, and the electrification of previously hydraulic components are here to stay, as are ridiculously tight allocations for the less fuel-efficient models in the lineup. |
Why do you say this? BMW just introduced a car with more power and greater fuel efficiency than the previous model. Power is not going down, engines are getting smaller, turbos are increasing and efficiency is growing.
