It would be foolIsh to think that BMW would miss the opportunity to increase profit by putting hi-performance parts in a less powerfull version of the engine.
Right, but the basis is the same 2.0 petrol engine, or like like the diesel 2.0 from the 318d with 150hp and the 320d 190hp.
I suppose is always the same reason: taxes.
In Portugal a G20 318d cost like 40K and a 320d 55K.
The cheaper tax market goes the 6 and 8 cilinders.😎😎
