New BMW engine 2.0 liter TwinPower Turbo

[E46Fanatic]

I guess that's the technology trend, smaller displacement and force induction. BMW's going twin turbo, Nice! Merc dropped supercharging and vw's twin charge (supercharging with turbo) not popular. Watch out vw gtis and audis a4s.

As the new 4 pot is an aluminum unit, its probably lighter than the I6's as well, which should be good for vehicle dynamics and efficiency. I wonder what the tuning potential for this engine will be.

Mate it with a DCT, Mate it with a DCT, Mate it with a DCT!

Better weight distribution also I think. Less two cylinder overhanging over the front axle with all four right behind.
I was quite shocked to see the big void in the 2.0 engine bay as the block pushed towards the back. More working space for the mechanic... or bigger intercooler. hehehe.
DCT already making its way to the 335 from the M3. Pray hard.
