We shouldn't expect to see B58TU nor B48TU used in F32, F33 or F36, correct?

More than likely not, yes. Typically, any updates to the outgoing generation’s 3 Series variants (which includes the 4 Series despite the new naming scheme) are very minor once the sedan goes out of production, and that will happen in October this year.

Do we know yet if the G20 is gonna have a 330d inline six diesel with RWD? Or are they going only with one inline six diesel in the form of the M340xd?

I don't know if ynguldyn can chime in and can confirm, but I would be extremely surprised if the 330d were to disappear any time soon. My understanding is that sales of this model remain brisk. And BMW's competitors in this segment (and other segments) continue to offer diesel models with six cylinder engines in the 250hp to 275 range, so it is highly unlikely BMW would exit. BMW's highest output B57 makes 400hp now. That's 133hp/L so in theory BMW could build a B47 with 266hp. However, it would probably be more expensive than a similarly powered B57 since such an engine would use at least two turbochargers and possibly three or perhaps even four. And it would still no doubt make less torque than the B57 with similar power. It is also not clear how much more efficient it would be once all is said and done. So while it is possible that they could replace the B57 in the 330d (and other non-US *30d models) with a four cylinder engine of that specification at some point in the future, as I said earlier, this is not likely any time soon (if ever). |

That would be awesome. I was briefly considering selling my 530i and getting an E60 M5, but now I think I'm going to just go with my plan I had all along which was to keep what I have and wait until the BEV i3/i4 is released. If it looks anything like the i4 concept did, I'm 100% in.

On the M340.... BMW is caving to the rwd mafia in the US? I wonder if it will be cheaper than xdrive variant or a no cost option. Also will be interesting to see if it handles better/differently than the xdrive variant since the suspension tuning and chassis balance will be optimized for xdrive.
However now 385hp!! Love that the power keeps going up! |

That engine change is going to cause some angst for those who don’t read this thread or otherwise catch wind of it and thus fail to see it coming. The jump from 465hp to 530hp is nothing to scoff at. An upgrade of that magnitude could have made the M3/M4 CS go from “meh” to ![]() Speaking of all these V8 beasts, when’s the M550i going to get the upgrade? |
