new milage rules come into effect in 2016. While company average is 35 mpg, there is a different standard for different sized cars. 3 series likely needs to average better than 35mpg. How do they do that? More diesel, hybrid and small engine versions (like the 320d or the 323 we have in Canada). They will also have to increase the markup on larger engine cars (335?), charge an internal tax. The effect will be that the faster car owners will end up subsidizing the slower car owners.
