so if the X1 does 0-62mph in 6.1 seconds..i can only assume the 3er will be faster, but by how much?

Since the current 528i w/ 8-speed does 22/32. This engine in the x1 could probably do the same or a bit better since it's lighter weight and with better tech. Great little engine.

I am very happy with the specs of this new 4 cyl engine, my only concern is the engine sound. I really do not like how most 4 cyl engines sound.

Can't wait to see an M version of this engine should be a screamer.

The next 1M (which may be renamed to M2) will get a turbo 4 that is based on this new motor.

It's about time. Strong engine, and this is the first iteration. Will be interesting to see how reliable it will prove to be out of the gate...but looking good for when I need my next car. Much lower tax bracket than my current 2.5L I6, more HP, and more torque, less weight and uses less fuel. So...just the smoothness and turbo lag to feel more myself...but I for one am very sure BMW engineers got this right.

The 35mpg number is not only based on imperial gallons, it is also based on the Euro cycle for testing efficiency, which produces much higher numbers. An earlier poster commented that this engine will be more efficient than his 335d - um, no it won't. On the same euro cycle, the 335d is rated at 42.2 mpg combined, or 20% better. The same 335d is rated at 27mpg combined in the US, so using some math we can estimate that the 35mpg euro cycle figure for this new engine should translate to roughly 22.4 US mpg combined.
If it sounds like I'm ragging on this engine, it's because I kind of am. I just don't see the point of a gasoline 4 banger. It's not like it's anything radical or new. They could make a diesel 4 cylinder with the same horsepower and performance only it would get a very real US combined 35mpg. Now that would be an impressive engine. This? Meh. |

Yeah, that comparison did not tell the whole story, as the key difference is not torque numbers but a usable torque range. In S2000 the peak torque was developed in a very tiny range - you almost need 10+ gears to get both usable power and reasonable fuel economy (which would still be much worse than the BMW's new engine).
