Maybe not... Based on the 2016 CAFE standards, automakers must meet the Average fuel economy as follows...
Quote:
The average fuel economy for cars must improve from the current 27.5 mpg, where it has been since 1990, to 37.8 mpg by 2016. The truck standard has to rise from 23.5 mpg to 28.8.
This means cars must improve by 37 percent, trucks by 23 percent. Combined, cars and trucks in 2016 should average 34.1 mpg, up 35 percent from the current 25.3 mpg—a jump of 5.1 percent per year.

In order to achieve this BMW needs a new engine by end of this year.
