New BMW 750d

BMW has taken the wraps off its new BMW 750 diesel engine that will power their new  BMW 750d xDrive and BMW 750Ld xDrive models.
The  BMW 750d xDrive And BMW 750Ld xDrive comes with around 400 horsepower and around 332 lb-ft of torque.

The new 3.0-litre six-cylinder in-line engine was developed on the basis of the BMW Group’s latest generation of power units. Its BMW TwinPower Turbo technology includes multi-stage turbocharging with four turbochargers and common-rail direct injection, the latest update of which generates maximum pressure in excess of 2,500 bar. These and other technological highlights allow significant improvements to the already exceptional power delivery, pulling power and efficiency achieved by the outgoing engine. The new BMW 750d xDrive accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h / 62 mph in 4.6 seconds (BMW 750Ld xDrive: 4.7 seconds) – an improvement of 0.3 seconds over its predecessor. Much credit for this even sharper dynamic edge can go to a new form of multi-stage turbocharging, which now brings together four turbochargers in place of the previous three. This enables boost pressure to be built up even more quickly at lower engine speeds and therefore prompts incredibly swift responses to throttle applications from idle.

BMW 2 2017

BMW has announced that the 2017 2 Series line is getting the latest BMW TwinPower turbo engines under the hoods. The 2 Series will use four and six cylinder engine options. The 230i coupe and 230i convertible get the 2.0l TwinPower four cylinder engine with 248hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. An M Performance model will be offered in the form of the BMW M240i and M240i convertible packing an inline turbo six.
That TwinPower 6-cylinder engine makes 335hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. That is a 15hp and 39 lb-ft increase compared to the outgoing model. The M Coupe can reach 60mph in 4.2 seconds, 0.2 seconds faster than the outgoing model. The convertible version can reach 60mph in 4.5 seconds for the automatic or 4.7 seconds for the manual.

The M series gets the Steptronic Sport Automatic transmission but can be had with 6-speed manual at no extra cost. These M versions can be had in RWD or BMW xDrive AWD versions. M Sport versions also get special 18-inch lightweight alloy wheels and Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires along with an M Sport brake system. Pricing is unannounced until closer to launch this summer.
