    The current 335d is 286bhp, apparently the tri turbo yokes will be 350 ish.

    In fairness the 286bhp yoke doesn't give much turbo trouble at all :) Vac hoses and electronic vacuum control valves yes but the actual turbo units no.

    I don't think it is official yet, but the rumours go that it will develop 449BHP :eek: out of a 3.2l 6L and the engine is going into the X3 M first...

    They've some interesting engines hitting the smaller stuff too. There's 1.3 triple cylinder turbo's being developed by the motorrad division, and 1.8 4 cylinder turbo's which should see 240bhp too. That one's supposed to end up in a JCW MINI at some point, but it'd probably sit nicely inside a lot of other engine bays too.

    So is that an official M car with a diesel engine? looks like the RS4 TDI guys were prophets after all - the world is doomed!

    No mention of diesel here and looks (the X3M) totally different:

    The idea of triple turbos.. not quite getting it. 2 turbos are a kludge that was meant to be fixed with twin-scroll turbo tech.. adding another one is a further step the wrong direction.
