[QUOTE="ALBundy, post: 284411, member: 15"] Dude, read the comments from the jury that voted carefully. Some relevant extracts for you to ponder. [I][SIZE=1]“Outstanding in power output, low-end torque, refinement and fuel economy. Top marks to BMW” Arturo de Andrés, Automóvil[/SIZE][/I] [SIZE=1][I]John Carey from Wheels magazine said the unit is “proof that BMW pushes the boundaries of engine technology more than any other manufacturer”.[/I][/SIZE] [SIZE=1][I]Auto’s Lorenzo Facchinetti thinks it is a “gorgeous engine that has the ability to make a 1-Series or 3-Series feel like an old M3, with much more fluidity and fuel efficiency”. And Schalk Pienaar from Wiel commented that it shows “good use of available technology to lower fuel consumption and provides smooth and strong power delivery”.[/I][/SIZE] [I][SIZE=1][/SIZE][/I] [SIZE=1][I]Many were wowed by its sheer performance, or recognised the significance of the debut of BMW’s high-precision direct-injection system, which helps to maximise performance and fuel economy by precisely dosing the air-fuel mix. Adoption of the system also enables a higher compression ratio (10.2:1) for better fuel economy as well as a more efficient method of combustion chamber cooling.[/I][/SIZE] [SIZE=1][/SIZE] [SIZE=1][SIZE=2]WE are talking about Engine Of The Year here. That being said, I have not heard of any reliability issues with the 3 liter twin-turbo engine.
