128i engine

Anyone has more details on this 3.0 litre engine? Is it detuned from 260HP or the internals of this motor is different from the 3 series?

The 128i will have the same 2.8 liter inline 6 as the 328i producing 230hp. 128 like 2.8

Ah... cut the person a break. There was a time when the last 2 digits more closely correlated with the engine size. It doesn't help that BMW uses a 3 liter in the 325, 328, 330, and the 335. :wink:

I agree - the proliferation of a fudge factor in the numbering scheme is difficult to keep straight. And 1xx means B-class, 3xx means C/D-class and 5xx means E-Class and Porsche's 901 is a 911 because of stinking Peugeot!! I'm so confused!! ; -)
