According to new information from inside the company, BMW plans on turbocharging each and every 4-cylinder gasoline engine it produces. BMW’s first 4-cylinder engine recently made its debut in the 2011 BMW X1 xDrive28i for Europe. The 2.0L 4-cylinder TwinPower Turbo engine produces 245-hp and 258 lb-ft of torque.

Sources say that all 4-cylinder turbo units will be based on the same new generation 2.0L aluminum block but will have different power outputs. Lower-power output versions of the 2.0L unit will get a conventional single turbo.

BMW has officially confirmed that the 4-cylinder turbo vehicles will be coming to the United States at the end of this year.

    It only took an unknown like Hyundai to bring this concept of 2.0 Turbo being able to generate HP of today’s V6 but with the economy of a I4. GM had it in their Saturn Sky but GM executives were too busy making money with trucks and SUV’s to notice that they had a diamond in the rough.

    subaru was way ahead matt with their boxer 2.0 turbo engine on the early impreza sti . they switched to 2.5 but the evos are still on the 300 hp 2.0 . bmw can easily make a 2.0 turbo which can give higher hp but at this level they re focus is on economy
