I hope it will take place under the hood of the next 6 series!
On the other hand, its power is not so impressive if we take into account that Alpina needs only 2 turbos (also 3l i6) for 257kW.. How is possible to not have a proper gearbox to match the potential performances of the engine? Audi has a very impressive engine in their SQ7 TDI... |

If you look at how many parts are in a single turbo motor, or even a NA motor; so many things can still go wrong. There is a better chance of another part of this engine to fail before the 4 turbo chargers.

Seems to me that diesel engine is the new evolution of a "fast car".. Correct me if Im wrong but the majority of diesel cars always have crazy torque. When accelerating and "drag racing", that would obviously beat a petrol engine with similar hp while we havea lower torque right? I thought petrol engines have a bigger explosive effect

But then again they emit less CO2 than gasoline engines. So it's always a trade off: less global warming or less air pollution. High compression means high efficiency but also more NOx I also think the production of diesel requires less energy/resources than the production of gasoline.

No thanks. The only I6 from BMW that interests me is the naturally aspirated kind. Anything else from them seems to be a reliability coin-toss that more often than not lands on 'tails'. Whatever happened to BMW producing a car that you could depend on AFTER the warranty period?

No.
It will be introduced on the all new M550d xDrive and then filter to the X5 and X6 M50d and the M750d. They are also looking at the possibility of an X3/X4 model using this engine. They will be M Performance vehicles. The US will get the M Performance PHEV M550e.

The 640d looked a bit sad compared to the M550d, it would be cool to see a 650d or M650d come out next (maybe G chassis is likely instead of F06/12/13)

The hp/tq is not much better than the current M550D. why add another turbo if your not getting better performance or am I missing something?

What's better than 2 turbos? Obviously 4!
