Vista BMWBMW to release 4-cylinder in US
“We will soon announce what vehicles will feature this dynamic new turbo 4-cylinder in the US. And, they will arrive before year-end. We invite you to stay tuned”, said BMWNA CEO Jim O’Donnel.
This new four-cylinder TwinPower 2.0 engine, named the N20, will produce 245 horsepower plus 258 lb-ft of torque and will makes its first appearance in the current “European Market Only” X1 xDrive28i. It allows mating to a 6-speed manual transmission or an 8-speed automatic variant. BMW’s lips are sealed on which models will be receiving this engine, but the expert speculators over at www.bmwblog.com suspect it will appear on an American-released X1, the X3, the 1 Series and Z4.
It is interesting news, as BMW is at the top of its game designing smaller engines little compromise in power. The introduction of performance 4-cylinder engines should open a whole new door in terms of performance vs. efficiency, and will help keep our South Florida clients in an exhilarating ride without the worry of rising pump prices and less efficient engines.
The 4-cylinder in the video is not a BMW engine – it is just a garden-variety model of an engine like it, included here because there’s no official collateral on the BMW one, and we kind of like the way it magically assembles itself. Quite hyponotic!
