Here are some images from my flickr account- sorry they are not full res, I made them too small and have not had a chance to fix them.

This motor (N55) will NOT be replacing the N54. It will not be part of the initial launch of the GT in the US. There will be no TWIN POWER name in the US- THANK goodness as that is the cheeziest- name ever ( EU Only will see that naming).... US will remain as BMW POWER or M POWER ONLY; no stupid tag lines.

Like we have been saying for months; BMW will be releasing several new motors using twin scroll chargers (next step in Efficient dynamics). Everything I hear points to a US launch in the last model to receive a turbo engine (outside the ///M)- I am sure you all know what that is!

There is also a power bump coming to another motor in the future as well....

Lots of new stuff in the works; it is a great time for us enthusiasts; and me being the only one who like the 5er GT (it looks better in person).
