International Engine of the Year 2007: BMW 3-liter twin-turbo (335i)

So its 3 in a row

5 awards for BMW in "International Engine of the Year" but there are 11 other categories as well to count in. If we add them too BMW has won a lot more awards than those 5.

Yeah, already 7 won in 2007

Re: International Engine of the Year Awards 2007

Well done BMW, who seem to rule at engines!!!

Wonder what's going to win next year, is it going to be the new V8 from the M3??

Re: International Engine of the Year Awards 2007

Remember my comment from a year ago? (Edmunds: BMW 5-Liter V10 Wins International Engine of the Year)

That was expected.

Next year BMW are going to win again: with N54 3.0L I6 HPI bi-turbo.

And then with V8 from M3 ...

And then ...



And press release for 335i coupe was just issued then - few week before (on April 21st).

Re: International Engine of the Year Awards 2007

BMW - great engines since the 1930s.
or
BMW - 7 and 1/2 decades or motor excellence.
or
BMW - motor excellence was, is and will always be expected.
