Last I checked BMW doesn't build 4 cylinder cars. - Spoonie G 2008-08-25 13:38:21 (40 views) They still do. - wellused 2008-08-25 14:47:34 (21 views) And which car would that be? - Spoonie G 2008-08-26 06:56:10 (12 views) A whole slew of them but, obviously, not for North America so, in my book, they don't count. - Bob58 2008-08-26 06:58:57 (12 views) A whole slew of them? Where? BMW doesn't build 4 cylinder Gasoline powered cars anymore. - Spoonie G 2008-08-26 11:02:10 (18 views) BMW 116i, 118i, 120i, 318i, 320i there's even a 520i. - gk1 2008-08-26 11:12:10 (22 views) I stand corrected. But only the 20i models are gas the rest are diesel. - Spoonie G* 2008-08-26 11:52:47 (18 views) I think - with the B8 A4 now bigger - 520i vs A4 2.0 isn't much of a stretch. - wellused 2008-08-26 15:19:38 (14 views) That would be them. - Bob58 2008-08-26 11:22:14 (12 views) Anybody else noticing a trend here?
