But I doubt about the 5.0i. Since the 3.0si is now quite under power compare to any other V6 SUV in the market.

Did you actually read my response? You did say 3.5; I am not sure what you mean by 3.5, whether you are referring to displacement or something else, but there is no such engine. As I pointed out in post #3, there is a 35 designation used in the X6, referring to a 3.0 twin turbo engine. '35' is also the final two digits of models like the 335 and 535. You continue to refer to an engine called the 3.5i that simply doesn't exist in any model. Same story for the 5.0 that you refer to.

Another small point, but important to us engine guys: why are you comparing the 3.0 to other V6 SUVs? It isn't a V6. Compare it to other inline 6 engines, or other 6 cylinder engines, but not other V6 engines.

Anyway, hope you got the info you were looking for. There is no announcement on availability, it is all speculation as to when these engines will show up in the E70.
