I'd be surprised if this is a twin turbo. I don't think there's enough volumetric flow from two 500cc cylinders to spool each of the two turbos up sufficiently. Remember that the twin turbo arrangement in the 335i uses one small turbo per three cylinders. If BMW pull the sequential turbo stunt as per the 35d engines then I'll fall off my chair. Single, twin-scroll turbo is what I'd expect. |

It will be a twin turbo (not a smaller and bigger turbo like the diesel engines) but two of the same turbos, with one per two cylinders  |
