However, the Cdn manual also covers the old 135/335 engine, but I am guessing that was for when they were planning to release it in the U.S.
That all changed when the US cancelled their plans in the Feb timeframe and BMW announed thenew one. BMW has announced a lot of the engine plans fo the future.
That's too bad. I've never thought of turbo engines as long term propositions. And with the fuel pump fiasco plaguing 135/335 owners I fear something similar may happen with this engine.

I'd perfectly happy with a naturally aspirated in-line 6 cylinder. I'd take it any day over a turbo 4. JMO.
