Possible Turbo E90!

http://www.autocarmagazine.com/News_...p?NA_ID=214768

Not sure what I think of BMW getting away from NA power, but this could be the start of something wonderful. A turbo BMW would have so much potential its not even funny.

What are your thoughts?

Re: Possible Turbo E90!

forgive me, but i have liked BMW AG's stand on using more NA bimmers. . . i understand the potential there, and i know they have had turbo 2002's and such, but still . . .

yeah the old 2002 turbo was a real killer....i think it had something like 170bhp and it has a control knob to set the turbo boost from inside the car mechanically it goes like crazy....the turbo boost isnt smooth like in new cars....all of the boost come at once its brilliant

That will kick so much ass. I know BMW has long since tried to stay away from turbocharging, but now is the time! Twin turbos, imagine all the mods. I wonder who is making the turbos for this engine?
