BMW Four Cylinder 28xdrive

So, wondering what people think about the 28 six cylinder, used in the 1, 3, 5, and X3, going to a new 28 four cylinder, in the X1? Lots of technology, four cylinder 2 litre direct injection twin-scroll turbo, and it will compete directly with the VW 2.0 turbo engine used in lots of different models.

I really like six cylinder BMW engines, so it is a little sad, even though I enjoyed my 318i way back in the early '90s. I think we will see a lot more BMW four cylinder engines coming up. This appears to be the beginning of the end for the N52/N53, a couple of great engines.
