Autobild has some news on future super-engines from BMW, mainly for the 3 and 5-Series. First of all, the already notorious 4-liter V8 from the Motorsport division for the new M3 (425 hp).
A range of turbocharged gasoline engine seems to be in the works. These should be denoted by the initials “tis” or “ti” depending on the “sportiness” of the model. There’s talk of a 275 hp 4 cylinder engine and a 375 hp 6-inline.
In the end, the super-diesels. Autobild says that BMW wants the 4 cylinder 2 liter diesel engine to go over the 200 hp limit (soon!), while the 3.0 liter 6 cylinder engine should gain two new power steps (250 hp and 300 hp). Autobild doesn’t say which of these engines will be a twin-turbo system like the 535d.
