Unfortunately yes. It's been said that the N52 is going to be replaced by a turbo 4, and here it is. BMW can't keep the N52 around; people are going to see similar numbers and better efficiency coming from a turbo 4, and they'll go for that. Much like the Audi situation with the A4 2.0T vs 3.2. The typical BMW buyer won't notice the advantages of the N52.
