Twin-scroll turbocharging is basically the core technology for TwinPower Turbo BMWs, but not all them have it nowadays."

My bad, must've missed that part as I was skimming the article. I thought the terms "twin power" and twin scroll were synonymous since they've been using the two in conjunction with each other for years. Bmw terminology is confusing as shit sometimes.
