I'd say Audi is currently the most unique with that 5-pot turbo. That is one hell of an engine.....and from everything i know, Audi is planning to INCREASE the 5-cylinder usage in their lineup. That's properly exciting news for enthusiasts....

I would not say BMW are late to the game. They are planning an exciting return to a four cylinder and they know what they have to accomplish.
Have faith.
