How long before a BMW unveils a twin-turbo V8 ?

Gazoline · 10-02-2006, 08:54 PM

From what BMW has learned from the 335 engine and the upcoming M3's 4 liter V8, how long before we see a lower compression, lower reving 4 liter V8 with turbos from BMW? And for what application? The X5 or 7-series?

that's a pretty drastic question you have there, to tell you the truth I haven't heard of anything like that. plus the twin turbo 6 cyl is brand new so theyre just kinda getting into the market

Actually, it is planned for introduction as a DI as well in the 7 series (next generation), within the next 2 years

Gazoline · 10-06-2006, 08:27 PM

Yeah, I would think a 4 liter twin turbo V8 would be inevitable at this point. Besides being in the larger vehicles, maybe it could even make it into a 5 series. I couldn't really see it in any 3 series application, at least for a production BMW.

Rumor has it that the biturbo 4.4 V8 will be introduced in the F10, the 5 series next designation. It will bow sometime in '09 or '10.

What next - a twin turbo v10 in the new M5?

I believe the entire idea behind the direct injection is to run cooler so that compression doesn't have to be as low. Plus the biturbos on the 335 are smaller to minimize lag.

Unlikely. BMW will want to keep their M division with N/A engines. But you never know, they may change their minds in the future. It's been reported that the copycat engine of the M5 that AMG built for the E63 will be supercharged in a few years.

ALPINE6SPD · 10-13-2006, 11:16 AM

the turbo v8 5 series is rumored for next year. 400hp BTW.

John · 10-13-2006, 11:27 AM

can't we just enjoy our monstrous v8 m3 and v10 m5

plenty power potential with these engines

Not a chance of that happening. If anything, the next e60 5-series will have the biturbo inline 6 from the 335, which would be the 535i.

Can't enjoy the v8 M3, it's not here yet. I have heard that it will be pushing in excess of 420hp. We'll all soon find out.

im sure BMW wont dissapoint.

According to the traditional seven-year BMW lifecycle, the next 5-Series would be introduced for the 2011 model year.

Brunotheboxer · 10-13-2006, 01:59 PM

what about a supercharged engine from BMW?

hmmmmm, why would they do that?? the 4.8 V8 engine already produces 362 hp, i dont think they would want to add the turbos for an additional 40hp

Buffalo_Bush · 10-24-2006, 08:46 PM

the turbo is the future for them. they can make smaller, lighter engines with more power which makes for better handling. quite a few mags i have read say a new z8 will be an 2010-11 with twin turbo z8. its in the automobile august 06 page 58. state there will be a 4.4 liter turbo v8 with over 400 horse with dual clutch trany by 2010. it also smaller and larger engines might be in it also.

kapoo · 10-25-2006, 08:57 PM

Ive heard a rumor that the new Z8, which should be sold around 200X, will have a v8 powered engine with 400hp, biturbo.. But thats a rumor. surf the net guy n gals u will see the story

bavarian19 · 10-25-2006, 09:11 PM

I would love to see the X5 get a turbo'd V8 to replace the current 4.8is...

Hell, why dont they just put that high revving V10 in there
