The N/A 3.0L will likely come from the 328i/528i (thus 230 hp), and it may not be offered in all markets.

It might also be detuned power-wise in favour of more torque.

must be a typo. they have the diesels for torque, no point in re-engineering a petrol engine.

I guess it's for fuel economy, but to detune the HP that much doesn't make much sense, unless it combines with electric motor to help to the performance.

What's the point? I was hoping the new X3 would become something like a mini X6, with sportier looks, to better diferentiate it from the X1 and the X5. Maybe the X2 and the X4 are on the works?

X1, X3, X5. Wow, BMW is really splitting hairs here with all of these SUVs (excuse me, SAVs) of slightly different sizes. I wonder if the differentiation between these SUVs is as much as say the difference between a 1-series, 3-series, and 5-series??
