More turbines! Even more!
The company BMW, which, it seems recently surprised the world with a diesel engine with three turbines, presented in Vienna the new unit. At this time, “six” received a four turbine!
In fact, the Germans took the inline motor, known to us by the BMW X5 M50d, and he added another single turbocharger. The increase of power made… only 10 HP
Thus, 3-liter engine was to develop 390 HP Torque of 740 N·m (unchanged). Although the creators claim that the fourth turbine are not here to gain power or thrust, and the linearity of the recoil motor at any rpm. Two units begin to run at low speed to provide a very fast start. Another is activated when the tachometer needle crosses over the half. The fourth helps to achieve maximum thrust at any point in the movement (in any gear, at any Rev range) as soon as the driver actively pressed on the gas pedal. Thus the Germans were able to make the diesel engine “diesel character”.
BMW has introduced a slightly “charged” М760і (pictured). This, of course, not the M7, which has long been awaited in Russia and the middle East, but still very fast and powerful model of Executive class. Next year the line will appear М750d diesel, which should become popular in Europe.
The fuel consumption is going to be very “sweet”: 5% less than that of “tractoring” unit. So “heated” sedan M550d with the new engine consumes on average 6.3 liters of fuel per 100 km And in the following year, this diesel engine will appear on the big sedan BMW xDrive M750d. “Charged” crossover BMW X6 M550d and X5 550d will also get this unit.
