Default New BMW 4 cyl twin turbo engine announced
New twin turbo 4 cylinder motor - http://www.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=477882

Good for 245hp. Not bad at all and seems aimed at Audi/VW 2.0T.

Can't wait to see its tuning potential.

Very cool

however, just to clarify this isn't a twin turbo, it's a twin scroll single turbo and the release should read that it is modeled after the N55, not the N54

Looks the new 3 series (F10) has a powerplant

One would assume. All BMW's going forward will not be naturally aspirated.

They always update it and it still doesn't work properly.

at a lower rpm, and an extra 100lb/ft of torque, and better gas mileage, and a less emissions...
