The new F-30/31 with a 2 liter diesel would bring in new customers, as it could touch 40 to 50 mpg with decent acceleration. Since BMW has taken the plunge with a 4 cylinder gasoline engine, the "bigger is better" crowd here in the USA has already had time to get used to the idea.

BTW, I saw my first F30 yesterday in traffic. At first I thought it was a 5 series from behind, as it was so big. Nice car, but I'm glad I have an E90 just same.
