Now you're getting near the point. It needs to be enough for the life of the model. And it'll be. Expect more turbo-charged gasoline engines from BMW in the next 2 years also, and count those into the competition and you'll begin to see the light. Can't get into more specifics than that, but a 540i with a straight six has been mentioned, for one.

Best regards,
