Everybody knows it, DTM is going 2.0l I4, like the Japanese GT500 are now running 2.0l I4 engine.
It seems impossible for BMW not to develop a true M I4 engine. Even the BMW AG I4 engines is way behind its competitors.
Every car manufacturer/group has a 2.000 ccm I4 performance engine: VAG (well known 2.0 TFSI also participating in WRC), Daimler (AMG), Honda (coming in the new Civic Type R), Toyota (coming in new NX), Volvo (Drive E), Subaru (though Boxer), JLR (Hotfire), Ford (coming in new Focus RS) etc.
N55? Seriously this engine is outdated and is beaten by the competitors (Porsche/Audi, Mercedes, Cadillac, Maserati).
The B38 and B48 are now found in the 2er Active Tourer (not in their most powerful version), B58 should come too. But not in the 2er Coupé? Fail. This is beyond cheap.
