4cylinder turbo vs inline v6 that lasted part 20~30 yrs of BMW history.
Good power
Goof efficiency
They will last a good 4 yrs, what about reliability of those turbos afterwards?
what about the longetivity of those 4 cylinder turbo engines compared to inline 6 bmws?
Especially living in the US where people usually drive more than 12,000 miles a year in all types of terrain, can we really say 4 cylinder turbo is the way to go than a bigger more stable inline 6?
i dunno why but somehow looking at virtually all bimmer lines being turboed now... this looks like a sweet candy "rental car" that will last a good 4 yr and be gone....instead of the good old inline 6 silky smooth reliable engine....they will be missed...

Turbo's staying around for only 4 years? I think not. Based on that logic, the 335 powerplant should have been dead for a few years already.
Change is difficult sometimes. I personally would like the turbo 4 instead of my NA I6. More torque would make it more fun. |
Exactly people talk like turbo cars are a new thing. What about all the other turbo smooth power delivering cars out there. I for one low my 2012 35 X5.
