That's exactly what BMW are planning on doing in the future beginning this year with the new 1 series, not Ford, as said the new Aust. developed Ford Coyote S/C V8's are here to stay and word is they're going to be used by the yanks on some of their range too
GMH apparently will bring in the S/C LS9 to compete against them or introduce a normal run of the mill S/C LS3 rather than custom S/C V8 Walkie jobs, either way it seems V8's are alive and well for the immediate term anyway
BTW BMW will also scrap the once heavily lauded atmo V10...
