BMW to make Tri-Turbo engines

[shugyboi]

I'm currently smoking around in a brand new 530d M sport 8 speed DCT. Aside from it being like trying to park a church, it's a fantastic car and stupidly fast cross country. 400 horses would be insane!

is it the f series?

[andrewparker]

Surely it's got to be if it has the 8-speed DCT...

[tony_danza]

Yeah, F10 is it?

Awesome car, really hides its size/weight from behind the wheel and that 'box uses the diesel's powerband really effectively. Steering feels a bit meh, I'm guessing it's e-PAS? Otherwise, I'm super impressed with them, I'd love a go of the M5 when it arrives.

Just dropped it off and now have my 135i back.. I've got to say mine's still better

Kin hell...how good does this mock up look

        Me likey! Me likey a lot. Petrol much more preferred though.

Don't know if this is a pearoast or not.

BMW are starting to develop Tri-turbo engines. The first one will be 3.0 diseasel pushing out 395bhp & 650lbft 

There is also talk of them making a petrol version which pushes out circa 440bhp. Apparently it will be a similar system to the VAG supercharged/turbo charged engines with one turbo being small and dealing with low revs whilst the other 2 spin up and produce high end power.

Should be quite interesting seeing this come to fruition. Especially if the rumours are true of a diseasel M5

I'll cut my balls off and hang them on my washing line if this happens in the next 10 years..

Pistonheads said:

It's also unlikely to be a 'full-on' M car; BMW knows its market and won't risk compromising the perceived purity of the brand, so expect this to be a halfway-house between a full-on M model and an M Sport spec.

[Sunglasses Ron]

Exactly ^^^

A diesel M Car and a diesel M5 are two different things..   Just like M Sport spec on most models (like mine), it doesn't make them an M car. Even though many a 'M badge wearing berk' in their 318i will disagree  

'M' Car



Definitely not an 'M' Car  





No different to saying a 2.0 TDI S Line is and S model...  

Things my balls are safe for the time being..

If you had said next 2-3 years then you may have been safe. However 10 years.

You may have to change your name from Sunglasses Ron to Eunuch Ron as i have screen dumped this page.

No going back now
