As to the article, and 500cm3 being optimal, it's ironic in my case insofar as recent cars owned:
Golf 5 GTI: 2 litre / 4 cylinder
BMW 135i: 3 litre / 6 cylinder
Ford Focus ST: 2.5 litre / 5 cylinder
... all 500cm3  |
I just meant BMW's next turbo inline six, whenever it may come out. I'm hoping it will launch with the F32 as is rumored. There is plenty of historical precedent for this, as far as I remember the 3 series sedan launches with old engines and then the coupe comes with a new engine the next year.
