With this new engine being available,it will bring a radical change to Bmws engine policy!

As far as I can recall the last time Bmw had a petrol turbo in production was the "too hot to handle" 2002 Turbo in the 1970's!

I was one of those that really wished Bmw had t/c the M3-E30 to completely knock out those 600hp+ Sierra Cosworth in the WTCC races!Still,even just 350 hp of normally aspirated power,this M3 still beat the mighty Fords!So,Bmw didnt need to produce a turbo car then!

With regards to the fuel economy of this new bi-turbo engine,I havent seen any fuel figures,but are you sure that it is almost as economical as the 3.0 TD as you say?
