Also true for most BMW's delivered with All Seasons. Probably an issue for 3 or 4 Americans total. |

There will probably be a Sperf option that will raise it to 155.. I doubt much higher.

The only thing new on this engine is that the aircocompressor now also is electrically driven and that they use 48v I guess (reducing conductor wire thickness).
Starter-alternator systems within the same component can be found even in 60's cars, and brands like volvo have had electric turbo's (or electric superchargers) for a few years now. What is strange is that MB decided to place that alternator/generator inbetween the torque converter and the engine, which results that the engine is shifted foreward in the chassis for the thickness of that alternator/generator. Performance/balance fail if you ask me. Also the decision on this engine to put the distribution of the valve train at the back of the engine is not new (bmw n47 hint hint) and that can also result in problems if say a chain tensioner goes wrong, the whole engine has to be lifted out (again... N47 hint hint ). But if its engineered correctly its not a bad choice (loads of I6 engines that have no problems with the valve train distribution for hunderds of thousends of miles of course)
