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).
I'm not sure if I get you right. You say the N55 won't replace the N54 as it is now (i.e. with the same output)?


Best regards,
