Bye Bye BMW Displacement
It used to be that the old addage was that more displacement was better for more torque, which was what was great for stoplight racing. No more, at least at BMW.
According to an article by Richard Truett at Automotive News (www.autonews.com), BMW will develop and build no more larger displacement engines. :-( Rather, they will again begin turbocharging and doing other technological advances to current engines. I haven't seen a BMW turbo since the 70s and 80s when the 2002 turbo and 745i (real old body version) were out. In fact, both models were european delivery only, and rare in the US.
Should we start hoarding our current BMWs as 'vintage', and expect their values to increase? And, should I go buy-back that Hartge BMW E28 5er I used to own???
