![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Official: BMW X6 You are right. So S65 in 2008, N64 in 2009. ![]() Since I'm not sure N64 will be able to qualify for 2008 (since debuting in April). N64 engine: X6, X5 (as "sports" edition - similar to 135i; yet it's very possible US market might get 3.5i & 5.0i instead of 3.0 & 4.8 ), F01/2 7er, (mind that the new V12 will be much more powerful than the current one) F10/1 5er, (mind that S85 engine will be upgraded!!!) F12/3 6er, (^^^) F5 new 8er (getting V8 & V12 engines only) new Z8 (if not getting M-engines as the latest Z8 did) not sure about baby Rolls - modified engine based on N64 possible Regarding M-package: I have no detailed info when it is coming, nor in what markets will it be offered (US?). Another interesting info: current N54 & N64 are just a phase 1. Both turbo engines (upcoming I4 bi-turbo as well) can be easily set to produce even more power & torque! So, 306HP & 407HP are just the initial values which will increase during the engine lifecycle. And it is also inevitable some models will get "uptuned" , some "standard", and some "detuned" versions of bi-turbo engines. With these engines BMW have an enormous room for manoeuvre. ![]() PS: the X6M, M-package, Hybrid version, 8-speed gearbox, DCT gearbox, extensive FlexRay use, air-suspension ... these were the features being on my mind when saying some would be disappointed because expecting too much too soon. Some of these stuff are coming later during the E71 lifecycle. |

8er/Z8, no. Those cars are supposed to get ONE engine only, and I don't think that will be the V8 TT Quote:
And a detuned version of the 335i is not even possible, because the 330i is too close then.

We have seen what tuners have done with the N54, so we know there is a potential to improve the HP by 30% and the Torque by 50% without a hardware modification. The N64 is pegged as well, and I make this assertion based on the the supercharged version of the same engine from Alpina:500+ HP, and 500+ ft.lbs of torque. So yes, there is plenty of room for this engines and I think they will serve the company well. The cost of engine development will be significantly reduced if they play their cards well.
