It won't be under consideration for the family unless they bring in the TDI engine with quattro. My unk just picked up a new 328xi(6sp), very nice.

Our 30v does well(low to mid 20's city and low 30's hwy) but I'd like to see new TDI efficiencies(direct injection, etc.)mpg. There is no sense in getting a new car unless they really improve them. I generally maintain the families cars so they drive like day one all the time.
The new 2.0 TDI will have more torque then our 2.8!
