Unlike in the US, the european BMW 3 series engine sizes start at a 1.8 liter, not the 2.8 offered in the US. My question is, does BMW plan to release the 318 and 320 in 2009 to the US? Also do they have plans on selling the diesel models? Thanks

Probably not....the engine is too small to give perfomance in the cheezy USA gasoline.

Beemers in germany run on 99 unleaded.
