So is this meant to replace the inline-6 in all the "28" cars?
Z4, 5series, and X3 get it in December. This gen of 1 series wont get it because production ends the first quarter of 2012.

On page two of that thread one of the bimmer boys says the f series is a terrible engine. Id love to see that new turbo 4 last for 100k race miles and beyond with no issues..
Fixed.

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
