I'm sorry but this car needs to debut with a BANG....meaning the twin-turbo. Yes I would be satisfied with the 260hp, but come on. Introducing a 1 series in the U.S. is VERY risky as it is. Make us a 128i and a 135i. Put a 5-6k price difference in between them and call it a day. Oh yes, and offer a diesel somewhere down the road. There is no room to half-ass this car. NONE whatsoever, because they would be risking a brand dilution, and a sales flop.
