And I have to admit that it is not such a great car as you might think... The engine is not so powerful, it needs a lot of revs and has not got too much litres...

I wish I saw just a few more so I could decide if I liked how it looked on the road. Again, If BMW made another production run of the E90 320Si I'd be happy with a 4 cyclinder BMW. Unfortunately, as it was a homologation car for WTCC we probably will never see them in production again. @Horatiu B.:

If you take into account the exchange rate there could be cases in which US folks buy them even cheaper than the German folks!As far as the 4 cylinder engines are concerned: as long as they don't bring over the 116,118 and 316,318 I don't think it will damage the company's image.

As far as the 135i selling well, they did for a while, but now it has slowed down. Most of the dealerships in IL have lots of models in their lots. I blame it on the high price. @Gragop: I think I replied to the wrong comment, but regardless. As far as the 135i selling well, they did for a while, but now it has slowed down.

I also strongly believe that the 4cyl twin turbo will make it here as well. There are more talks of a 1 Series tii with that engine. @Gragop: They will come, I have no doubt.

My local dealer cannot keep them on the lot. I haven't seen too many on the road but with a US allocation of only 10,000 for 2008 I didn't expect to see many. I've said this everywhere I can but I'll say it again. BMW please bring over a variant of the E90 320Si with a mid-mounted engine. PLEASE! I'm telling you right now that you'll sell at least one of them! I thought the 135i was selling relatively well given the current market? My local dealer cannot keep them on the lot.
