Because what’s better than three turbo’s?

Were you in the 70’s, already a large man with a turbo, in the 80’s did you actually really take a biturbo. That is quite long, the last on turbo area (ok, some of the Bugatti’s are not counted), until BMW a few years back with the triturbo M550d on the came up. The drieliter six-in-line is good for 381 hp and a clean and 740 Nm, and has made its way now to other models, such as the X6 M50d.

For the BMW 750d, which for next year on the schedule, three turbo’s apparently no longer adequate. If we have the rumors on Bimmertoday may believe is there, in Munich, namely working on the B57, a six-in-line diesel engine with four turbo’s. It may not be long before each of the six cylinders of his own turbocharger. Or they assemble just four turbos on the four-cylinder diesel in the new 7 Series, that can also.

How the BMW quadturbotechniek (three times the word value) to exactly implement remains in limbo. Two large and two smaller turbo’s seem to be the most obvious. On the current triturbo are two large and one smaller turbo. But who knows, fit BMW coolly four different sizes of turbo’s on the block. The number of horses will probably be the 400-border break, the pair is probably around 800 Nm. Such karrevrachten torque can be difficult to leave on your rear wheels only, so but from that the BMW 750d and the future M550d and X5, X6 and X7 M50d standard all-wheel drive.
