Nah, they're dropping the 2.0L petrol & diesel in Europe though due to lack of sales. Diesels due to regulations etc. are on their way out anyway and they were never going to beat a BMW diesel engine. The big 3.3 is still doing well and the Stinger is due for an LCI, so that model at least isn't going anywhere.

Although I wouldn't dismiss the M340i at any turn, in my shoes I'd book a test drive for both the M340i / Stinger and see what appeals. Whilst I've criticised both as a direct comparison they're holistically very different cars IMO.

One is built to be a grand "sport" tourer, the other an M-lite and it shows. Ultimately they're both great cars and you can't go wrong with either..
