BMW 3.0 Inline-6 BiTurbo

[Mockngbrd]

A world premiere at the Geneva Auto Show for this new BMW biturbo engine.

This engine has a basement entirely made in aluminium, with direct High Precision Injection and two small turbochargers (a first for a 6 inline engine) and is the new top of the line inline-6 from BMW.

Power output is a more than respectable 306 hp, the torque is a more impressive 400 Nm. Compared to the 3.0i engine on which it is based, that's 41 hp and 85 Nm more. What is really impressive is the rotation range in which the maximum torque is available, from 1,500 rpm to 5,800 rpm, with a redline at 7,000 rpm.

BMW says that particular attention was given to the avoidance of turbo lag, to weigt containment and to the engine's efficiency.

According to BMW, a 3 Series with this engine would gain ½ a second in the 0-100 km/h sprint and almost 2 seconds from 80-120 km/h.

Re: BMW 3.0 Inline-6 BiTurbo

They r damn politically correct in tuning the horsepower.....

323 to 325 ~40hp
325 to 330 ~40hp
330 to 335 ~40hp

I think this time it'll be easier to get more out of the engine right? The groundwork is already laid.

Re: BMW 3.0 Inline-6 BiTurbo

I think 350hp should be attainable....

Yes! kickass man, that is E46 M3/911S territory! for hopefully under $270K eg. E90 335ci.

Now, all we need is a ZSG double clutch gearbox and we're all set

lets also note that that was BMWs pride without going the turbo way. In that sense, it did make ppl feel they were the real 'men' in the sense that they did not have to resort to viagra for the same or better pleasure. haha.

anyway, theres nothing unmanly about FI. for volumetric efficiency, it still cant be beaten.

agreed but theres no replacement for displacement.

Someone saying that I am not a real "man"? I knock some sense into you then you know :nehnehhh:

I like FI too True...there is no replacement for displacement...but give me a TC 5 liter engine any day over a NA 5 liter engine

Bugatti even needed 4 TCs to go with their W16 8 liter engine to make the Veyron not just fast...but crazy fast!!

There is no loss in pride in incorporating technology that will make things more efficient and compact...if there was...we will still be keeping our handphones in briefcases or using it as bricks in fights instead of keeping it in our pocket or using it to take videos of fights
