You can't buy a new BMW without a turbo. At least here in NA.

It sucks when big auto falls for the global warming scam.
I'm told they dropped the 6 due to CO2 emissions.

If I can get 15K for mine I could do another 10-15K on top.
But why bother if all are pissy fours

But is changing 100x faster than it EVER has. Not even remotely the same thing. Pull your head out of the sand.

No need to argue with the climate change deniers. They will never change their views about it. No matter how much evidence you provide them with.

Considering the 'pissy' 4 cylinder turbos have 30 more kW and 100nm more torque than your 325i, I'd try driving one before instantly writing them off as no good.

I find my 320d excellent on the daily grind, and I rarely get caught out by turbo lag where I really notice it as a problem. The extra 130nm of torque, with half the fuel use sealed the deal for me over a 325i.

If I am pining for the classic BMW 6 cylinder engine note, I just drive my weekender e30
