Look like base/lower BMW models will start getting these twin turbo 4 cylinder engines. Wonder I they'll have as much tuning potential as the n54 turbo 6.

Less displacement, probably not as much tuning potential but more tuning potential than your avg car since they are usually N/A.
Wow. That's a decent amount of hp. Wonder how fuel economy is going to be.

Porsche working on a 4-cyl engine.
But this TT 4-cyl turning out 245 hp pretty awesome. To bad the displacement is 2.0L, would have been nice if it was like 1.5L (not sure if thats possible)

It's not a twin turbo motor but BMW's twinpower turbo. It's just their hyped way of saying it's a twin scrolled turbo.
I love how BMW is integrating turbo into their whole lineup of engines and maximizing horsepower and fuel Effienciency. This motor is suppose to get 37mpg. Toyotas cool to...with their hybrids lol

Based on that BMW fact sheet, this motor achieves roughly the equivalent of 24 mpg city, and 36 mpg highway EPA. I doubt the motor will get such good EPA ratings in the US. This is a conversion of the listed numbers based on the European fuel economy ratings.
