BMW Will Roll Out the New Engine, July 2016
In our previous article we reported that BMW will make some changes to the 3/4-series. BMW will rename the 35i models to 40i, and also the 28i will become 30i.
This is not JUST a name change because the current N55 6-cylinder engine in the 35i models will be replaced by the newly-designed B58 engine. The same for the N20 engines in the 28i trims: it will be replaced by the brand-new B48 4-cylinder engine as well. BMW is going to roll out this engine swap starting July 2016 and we can NOT wait.

What is the BMW M235i/228i New Name?
Today in the news, this change will also make it to the current 2-series, which means the current M235i will become M240i, and the 228i will be 230i.
Don’t Wait Too Long For the 40i & 30i
But again, if you are considering the 2/3/4-series at this moment, don’t wait! Why you ask? Because, you won’t see the change take place until almost 2 years later. Now that’s a looooong wait.
Also more news for the next-generation 7-series (BMW chassis code: G11/G12): BMW will offer US market a diesel model called the 735d, equipped with the B57D30O0 6-cylinder turbo-diesel engine; and of course, the V12 760i will stay with us.

WOW! Two years is a very long wait. I agree, no reason to hold out for 30i or the 40i. Just go ahead an make the purchase now.
Thank you so much for the valuable info!
You said that the engines are coming out in July 2016? I thought it would be in 2015, as you mentioned in previous articles?
