There should, indeed be a big aftermarket for the 1, but it goes beyond that. The twin-turbo 6 could be the beginning of affordable performance parts for the BMW crowd... for the first time ever, as FI is cheaper to make faster. Also, since BMW is putting this engine in everything... from the 1 series right through the 5 series, supporting this engine will pay dividends to any tuner/manufacturer who gets on the bandwagon.
