This will reduce the SKU and hence lower the overall cost.
The all new N series L6 turbo engine under R&D now is coded N58, displacement very likely stays the same but while its N55 predecessor uses a single twin scroll turbocharger, the N58 is going back with twin-turbochargers again however with one twin scroll turbocharger and the other one is not! Power target is 370-400hp range. It's going to hit the market between 2016-2018(2016 the earliest), which is the perfect timing for all new 5/X3 series, F32 LCI, F15 LCI, etc... |
So you're saying there's an immediate update to the N55 coming with about 330 hp, and then there's a new 6 cylinder turbo in the works for 2016 that's about 370hp?? And by "L6" do you mean "I6"? Seems excessive....
