These engines will also be more efficient than their 4-cylinder power houses and hence will find their way under the hood of the new Mini cars, as well as the all new front-wheel drive cars from BMW, the new 1 series and 3 series, and the much talked about BMW i8 Hybrid supercar.
These new engines follow what BMW is calling ‘BMW future modular engine strategy’. Power outputs of the engines will range from anywhere between 120bhp and 200bhp for the petrol engines, and In the range of 100bhp to 180bhp in the diesel formats.
