Re: 1 level up : Efficiency and Performance on a new level.

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.

Re: 1 level up : Efficiency and Performance on a new level.

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

It's bad enough that some "BMW fans" I know claim that "A 4-cylinder BMW is not real a BMW." <--- Morons.

A friend of mine here thinks that way. And he's German too! I mean he should have grown up with 316i's etc. Some people...

Some people just don't get it. What about the BMW E30 M3, or the 2002 turbo for that matter... two of the most impressive and iconic BMWs yet.

The trend towards four-cylinder engines has just begun.

It would be a first for a car in this segment. In fact, I can't think of a single example of a current petrol engined car that uses a sequential turbocharging arrangement. A two-litre engine can easily make 240 PS with a single small turbocharger whilst retaining a good measure of low-rev linearity with a twin-scroll layout.
