That would be gasoline 4...as it happens some BMWs are coming with a turbo gasoline 4 soon.  As you say, makes the car lighter which is always a good thing.

BMW Z4 sDrive28i and 528i with 2.0T I4, should be in Canada in October/November 2011.

Mercedes tried to sell manual transmissions in Canada, and not that long ago.  No one bit.  So, you can complain all you like, but the reality is that they can't sell them, so why import them?
