There is no way BMW will lower the price of any models in the US when they switch from the 6 to the turbo 4. They had a press release from the President or VP of BMW North America 6 months to a year ago stating that fact. I've had the inline 6 in several X3's at both 230HP and 260 HP and would still rather have the torque of the turbo 4. While the 6 is a great engine at high rpm its not great off the line with an automatic, it needs to be rev'd just like the 3 E46 M3's I also owned. You never got much of a kick in the pants from the E46 until you hit very high rpms.
