Yes, the 4-cylinder thingy is just a shame for us, BMW admirers. But, unfortunately, the majority of BMW drivers wouldn't even know how many cylinders their car has... Or worse, what a cylinder is... And to stay competitive and to be in line with regulations (reduce average CO2 emissions on entire car fleet), BMW just had to build smaller engines.

I'm just hoping that one day, the non-turbo 6-cylinder returns to their cars. For me, that is one of the main reasons to drive BMW.
