New BMW Diesel engine.

[Marco]

Gang,

Maybe it's not the latest news...



BMW has a new 3. 5L six inline engine.



Twin turbos in series!



These guys must have been lurking here on the TDR... :--)



275Hp isn't bad for a stock production engine with only 3. 5L displacement.



First delivery this summer.

I have no further information about the engine yet but will let you know ASAP.

It's probably the same old story.



Not available in the United States

 

[Got HO?]

Its coming

"BMW will have a diesel here within 18 months" Got that from the horse's mouth. The horse, in this case, is the FSE for BMW in my area. I have known him for 17 years now & when he tells me about new developments concerning BMW, he is always on the money.



I hoping that this will be the engine he's talking about. Oo.

Here is an article on it. However, according to this article, the new engine is still 3. 0 liters:



"... the enhanced cylinder charge ensured in this manner significantly boosts engine output from an unchanged 3. 0 liters by 40 kW/54 bhp versus the “basic” engine of the BMW 530d already acknowledged as very dynamic with its maximum output of 160 kW/218 bhp... . "

Great article!



Anyway they say:

"turbocharging in the new BMW 535d Sedan and Sports Wagon"



BMW always uses the first number to identify the series or the car

the last two are the displacement of the engine.



That would us bring back to 3. 5 Liters...
