Wow, nice move bmw, finally a 2.0 turbo to eat that little fuker 2.0 TFSI , 240 hp seems good, any more info? i predict something like 2.0l 240hp 320Nm ,1450kg EU, 6.4 secs 0-100km/h , 8.8L combined , am i right?
 
According to BMW at Chicago autoshow, tii concept won't go into production. So I guess this CSi will be the so called Tii but with a different name.
 
I doubt it, BMW USA has a no 4-cylinder belief in place right now and they'd hardly drop the 128i so soon.

not really they wll both make sense, 128 is for relaxed driving, smooth big powerful straight six, it is by no means a hooligan, unlike a 120 CSi, the demographic appeal for both is very different whereas the average 128 buyer will be a newcomer to BMW looking for a "good" price, adequate engine, and the usual BMW stuff in hope of upgrading to a 3 in some years, the average 120CSi buyer will bea boy racer in his mid twenties looking to drive like an idiot and tune the hell out of his car
i do not condone this behavior but it serves a purpose far different than a 128
 
I think this will be like the 320Si, build in Limited Edition and focusing more on the driving experience. This car will be different from 128i and be a sportier choice. Scott says this will be a lighter car, "Lightweight body enhancement".

CSL = Coupe Sport Light
CSi = Coupe Sport injection (?)
 
I think it's gonna be TT like the one in 35i ones,will the current 25i models get a power boost coz this engine will put it to shame!
 
I think it's gonna be TT like the one in 35i ones

Tarek, my friend, it says a 4 cyl turbo, so it's definitely not the 35i engine 'cause that one is I6...;)

The only thing we have to find out if it's gonna be TT or just a single turbo.

:t-cheers:

When is this jewel and future award winning motor coming to the 1er? Is it going to be presented in 2008 or 2009? Is it going to be available in Europe or only the U.S? And finally...are there any plans for the 1er hatchback? :t-cheers:
