The Z4 sDrive28i will replace the sDrive30i and its N52 inline-6 motor. The N20 motor features direct injection and valvetronic, good for 245hp / 258 lb-ft torque and 35.7mpg - all better figures than the 3.0L inline-6 motor it will replace. PRESS RELEASE

both the 1 and the 3 are near the end of life and due for refresh in 1-2 years. The new 1 and 3 will both almost certainly have this 4-cyl turbo motor.

If this drives as good as the NA I6 it will be very popular with premium fuel over $4 in the US and likely to stay that way for a while.

Agree. I don't think they will make a big deal with the 5 series and this motor - they'll just quietly drop it in for MY2012 or perhaps March 2012 production. Same for X3.
Also, the fact that the debut won't be in the X1 would seem to further bolster rumors that indeed the X1 will be delayed yet again for the US. Though I suppose it could still arrive late this year too. |

Actually, the F20 1 series is due this year (internet reveal this month) and the F30 3 series is due early next year (internet reveal later this year). But yes, it will be about two years time before all current variants go out of production (1 series coupe/convertible won't exit until mid next year some time, and 3 series coupe/convertible a year after that).

I think we will see a ton of pretty quick 328i's with tuned N20's... should be an interesting tuning market. It may finally be worth it for someone to manufacture a seperate exhaust manifold for a BMW turbo engine.

It'll probably be going into the Z4 because correct me if I'm wrong but that should be due for an LCI, which would make it a good platform to drop it in to. The X3 and 5er will probably just be an announcement (once the initial bugs are worked out with the N20) and be introduced for 2012 MY. In terms of the X1, when I went to the unveiling of it a few weeks ago the GM of my dealership said that the US will not be getting the X1 at all this year. Up here in Canada though the first ones will be landing by the end of the month or early May. They're very small though but better looking the the X3 IMO. |

Seems like too small of an engine for a big heavy 5 series.

It should offer better performance than the N52 that is currently sitting in the engine bay of the 528i, just as it has shown to offer better performance in the X1 than the outgoing N52 did. And notably, the X1 was using the ~260hp version of the N52 even. |
