RE: E36 with 2.8l 6cyl

>>>I've just read from the latest Autoweek that threre will be a 2.8L 6cyl in
the
95 325i 4 door sedans.  Can anyone verify this?  If so, will the 325iS two
door have this same engine available also?  Any hp ratings?  I know that for
the 4 door, 0to60 times are said to have dropped 1 sec.  So if you put a chip
into this 2.8L engine, it can approach the straight line performance of the
current M3?

Since it's supposed to be an early '95 announcement, I'd probably expect the
328i/is to appear here sometime later next year as an early '96.  The 2.8 is
rumored to make 200hp, with a 2.3 (175hp) and 2.0 (150hp) for europe.  The
1.8 liter/4 is also rumored to be getting a makeover soon.  Both get aluminum
blocks.
