In Reply to: is there possibility for a 4cyl? posted by marc on February 01, 2000 at 12:25:40:

: would bmw consider a similar engine to the e30 m3. this could cut cost and even play to a market they may have lost with the nixing of 4 cylinders in america. just a thought

BMW dodesn't have a high HP 4 cylinder anymore. The S14 in the E30 M3 was based on an engine for the early 70s. They have not had the need to develope an engine like that for any production cars since then. IMO it would cost more to create and engine like that than to modify an existing 6 cylinder engine.
