Irvine BMW Confirms, BMW’S New 4-Cylinder Twinpower Engine Has Arrived In The U.S.

September 7, 2011 – Irvine, Calif. – Irvine BMW is excited to confirm, the all-new 4-cylinder TwinPower turbo engine has finally arrived in the United States, giving powerful performance like no other.

    With the EfficientDynamic strategy at hand, BMW’s technological leadership and engineering competence have enabled BMW to engineer a four-cylinder turbo engine that can match the horsepower of the N52 six-cylinder while delivering more torque at lower rpm.

    “BMW strives to be new and innovative and this new four-cylinder engine represents the current state-of-the-art engine technology that BMW is known for,” said Darren Richie, General Manager.

        The new 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder engine is one fierce powerhouse and will make its American debut in the Z4 sDrive28i. Despite its small size, it’s still unrivaled in performance. In fact, it boasts 260 lb-ft of torque, which is 30% more than its 6-cylinder equivalent. The maximum output of its 240-hp is achieved at 5,000 rpm – that’s 1,500 rpm lower than a 3.0-liter 6-cylinder engine. Encased in an all-aluminum crankcase, it’s also lighter and more compact. Plus, the combination of TwinPower Turbo technology and higher torque even increases its efficiency. With powerful and efficient performance like this, our smallest engine will surely take your breath away.

     Irvine BMW’s helpful and knowledgeable staff, expert factory-trained technicians, state-of-the-art service department, comprehensive parts department and one of the nation’s largest selections of new, used and certified pre-owned BMWs have made Irvine BMW a landmark in Southern California’s automotive landscape.
