Don't know if this is a pearoast or not.

BMW are starting to develop Tri-turbo engines. The first one will be 3.0 diseasel pushing out 395bhp & 650lbft :surprised:
There is also talk of them making a petrol version which pushes out circa 440bhp. Apparently it will be a similar system to the VAG supercharged/turbo charged engines with one turbo being small and dealing with low revs whilst the other 2 spin up and produce high end power.
Should be quite interesting seeing this come to fruition. Especially if the rumours are true of a diseasel M5 :driver:

3 sounds a lot to me!! :signLOL:
-
Could have sworn I read somewhere the first turbo is driven electrically, so no lag and then picks up with the second and third turbos through the rev range. Could be talking absolute bow lucks though...

There will not be a diesel M5 IMO, it will be just above an M sport. BMW know how to play the game well and they know how much the 'M' brand means to customers and it's reputation.

I think you're wrong :wink: After all many people thought they'd never go down a route of using turbo'd petrol engines...
An xDrive M5 diesel estate with 450bhp and 650lb ft capable of mid 30s mpg sounds like an awesome prospect to me.
-
I really don't think they would call it an m5 though. Not in a million years.
Probably something like a 550xd or 555xd
-
working with bmw, theres two chances of a diesel m5 and one is none :P
you will prob find there will be a similar spec 5 series with all the m5 toys that has a diesel engine.
alot of these will be opitional extras more thank likely.
new m5 in our showroom soonish so i'll stick some pics up. its not a golf gti at the end of the day :grin:
-
Where do you work mate?
-
Peter Vardy mate. Cracking company to work for :happy2:
-
I'm currently smoking around in a brand new 530d M sport 8 speed DCT. Aside from it being like trying to park a church, it's a fantastic car and stupidly fast cross country. 400 horses would be insane!

is it the f series?
-
Surely it's got to be if it has the 8-speed DCT...
-
Yeah, F10 is it?
Awesome car, really hides its size/weight from behind the wheel and that 'box uses the diesel's powerband really effectively. Steering feels a bit meh, I'm guessing it's e-PAS? Otherwise, I'm super impressed with them, I'd love a go of the M5 when it arrives.
Just dropped it off and now have my 135i back.. I've got to say mine's still better :happy2:

Pistonheads said:
It's also unlikely to be a 'full-on' M car; BMW knows its market and won't risk compromising the perceived purity of the brand, so expect this to be a halfway-house between a full-on M model and an M Sport spec.
-
Exactly ^^^
A diesel M Car and a diesel M5 are two different things.. Just like M Sport spec on most models (like mine), it doesn't make them an M car. Even though many a 'M badge wearing berk' in their 318i will disagree :stupid: :fighting:
'M' Car

Definitely not an 'M' Car :fighting:
