i think it is a bad idea. I would still prefer V8ter over 6 cylinder TT. Has anyone driven a 535 recently? I didn't care for it. THe car felt too heavy for that motor. And now, we are taking the same motor-with increased 15 hp, Big deal-and placing it in the 7 series! BMW is aiming for that person "oh, I must drive a 7 series, and I can't afford it".
