Is there a reason why BMW would or should not do this?
I would applaud for such a 335i and it would be a very smart addition in the range which would be my pick of the list!

Plus: efficiency of the 4 cyl allows 330i consumption/emission, equally spaced performance step perfectly in between, taxation rules for 2.0 are MUCH better than 3.0 in many countries, B48 is still perfectly served with RWD alone and no need at all for AWD, same (low) weight as 330i, 0-60 in a tad over 5.0s is plenty of shove to make it feel special AND smart!

Negs: None!

Where can I buy?
