Re: New BMW 3.0 engine

["Thomas Petersen" <bmw318is92@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

According to my local BMW dealer, the new 330 will have 245HP (but maybe 
there's difference between US and European version?). There will allso be 
changes in the other engines: 325 will be reintroduced with 193HP, 320 will 
have the 'old' 323 engine with 170HP. I'm not sure if there will be changes 
to 316 and 318, but I wouldn't be surprised if they'll upgrade 318 to fill 
the gab between 316 and 320...
