BMW will compete against these 4 with

325i--solid entry with a straight 6 (head to head with A4 2.0T 4 cyl)
330i--premium to take on the A4 3.2 with stick
335i--entry "over the top" performance to take on the S4 (ST 6 turbo vs V8)
M3--a real RS 4 beater

The 3 series is the bread and butter to BMW. They want more bread and more butter--its that simple.
You maybe right!
