Probably less weight over the nose.

Aside from a bit of lag, and a lack of the noise....what's the issue?
i4 engine has 258hp?

Yes but. Small engines in the UK are ok elsewhere in the world they're frowned upon

Personally, I think the small diesel would be fine. A small turbo 4, on the other hand, seems out of place in a 2-ton car, regardless of how much power it develops. And I bet it weighs no less than the N52 which, by the way, provides for perfect 50-50 weight distribution (front/rear) as it is.

Nobody should be surprised if it happens.The outrageous price of petroleum combined with the outrageous power of the trust funded tree worshipers in Sacramanto will very likely result in smaller cars...smaller engines....*and* more expensive cars.
