Looks like my intercooler too. Who said it's not a diesel? They have turbo diesels over there that look similar.

it's got direct injection... but judging by the coilpacks it's a gasoline engine.

looks like the biggest PITA to work on ever.

i was thinking the same thing..you can barely even see the turbos... looks like its very confined.

Well i saw they were planning on a single Turbo 3 series (335), so MAYBE this will be the E90 M3 engine :dunno:

Yeah there was an interview with the director of the M division who is previously from "AMG" haha. yeah. Anyways he said they would never produce a supercharged engine but were toying around with the idea of a turbo charged ///m. This was maybe 7 months ago that this article was written.

should've stuffed that into the new E90 M3. Regardless of power, I think BWM's looks has gone down a few nothes. Maybe I have a werid taste.

Word is the e90 m3 will have a v8 version of the v10 from the m5, making about 400 hp or so. So maybe this would just go into the 3 series as a 335 like someone mentioned.
