BMW's "E" cars stood for an "eta" engine which delivered high torque at low RPM (sounds like a Saab!). Nowadays with variable valve timing, you don't need to make a tradeoff between low and high end so much. Personally, I liked these "E" engines, although they weren't as gutsy at the top end. --Blair
