my guess BMW will equip its current 2.0 petrol engine with the turbo. That would be a nice combination.

A 135 with a nice little 2.0(or more)Turbo 4...would be GREAT it would also probably drop a bit of weight, improving overall dynamics...maybe even cost ?

Havnt they already done this? Atleast for the 1series. Why do they then purspound it so much if they havnt done it. When Audi and Merc did it along time ago. Ofcourse if BMW goes further with it. Putting gigantic quad turbos to a 1.4 litre making it produce gazzillions of bhp. Otherwise i just dont see this as News.

Knowing BM-trouble you, they will raise prices or leave them the same. They still think they are great cars, yet Chris "Worthless Hack" Bangle is still there designing crap (save for the 1 series).
If they do lower prices on their cars with the 4 cylinder engines, they will see a boost in sales. It would be one of their smarter moves. Getting rid of Bangle with no severance pay would be even better.

no, it?s not all true .. "..they first used these new generation turbos in their oil-sippers, then petrol."
The Turbo?d 745i was available before the first diesel was blown up; the 524td.

I think you fail to understand that the exact facts - there is a new turbo with new tech on it and this is a specific turbo being discussed - the article and discussion does not dispute the fact that turbos have been used before on petrols

I dislike. And couldn't even force myself to read the article. Change the font to 6, papyrus, that'll throw even more people off.

We expect a 1.6 liter turbo engine, like the one BMW made for Peugeot 207 GT, producing aroung 175hp. We do not know if it will be a turbo-compound like 135 or a cheaper version with single turbo. That is the news.
