BMW's Twin Turbo V8
BMW is coming out with a 4.4L V8 Twin Turbo for their X6 SUV (slightly smaller than the X5). It is suppose to have around 400 hp and 450 lb/lbs of torque.
Considering the 3.0L Twin Turbo BMW engines are pushing out close to 400rwhp with bolt-ons and tunes, this engine might have some potential.

Autoblog stated they are also trying to develop a twin turbo 4 cylinder, for the 1 series. I believe they said they were shooting for revs in the 11K rpms range, which must be pretty damn awesome.

Hold up... Isn't there a 135i model already available? The 1 series with the twin turbo 6 from the 335i?

135 is TTi6. Don't know of a TTi4 in the works... But they are bringing over the TTi6 diesels
The new TT4.4L is pretty cool. Sounds weird at start up due to the electronics. Very sick setup though. I'm really not looking forward to working on them though lol.

From other posts this is a baseline dyno for a stock 135i that I could find:
263 wheel Horse Power at 5500 RPMs
274 foot pounds of torque at 3250 RPMs
Max HP 323
Max Torque 354
Max Boots 14 psi

i like the idea of a TTi6 diesel. we need to get on europes idea of diesels. didnt VW just have a concept or something make 70 mpg?
oh and 11k would be crazy
think its like 420 actually (n/a).but that is one hell of a motor. 420 from a 4.4L...what if that ratio went to an ls1... 5.7L = alot of HP

Hell, it even looks better than the Prius. I'd actually consider a Lupo for In-city use, if they would only bring it over here...but alas.
