Given how long it takes to develop a new car model you know this project was started before gas ever reached $4 a gallon in the US. BMW was just betting that Americans wanted another SUV - oops. Marketting guys - time to make lemonade out of lemons.
Frankly, unless this thing comes with one of the new 4 cylinder engines and gets great gas mileage, I don't know what it has going for it except the badge. I can't imagine they will price it a penny less than a 3 series sedan (or they'll start eating their own sales), so it won't be cheap.
