They're still using the 3.0 in the 328s for the foreseeable future aren't they?

And yes they should've put the bi-turbo in in the first place, it's safe to say we would've all wanted that one instead for this beast of a vehicle (even if this 3.0 engine has won awards). I would've gladly paid the $5k premium we're seeing in the diesel now. As I alluded to earlier, 4.8's price is not worth it in my opinion... price nor mileage as I'm keeping this thing looooooong term.
