To be honest...alot of people i know buying $70,000 + vehicles won't be concerned with gas prices, Big V8 engined vehicles still sell in europe despite their astronomical petrol prices, albeit they sell alot less...

And im sure that this new 4.4 ltr turbo V8 will be both more economical and way more powerful. I mean its .4 of a liter smaller in displacement plus twin turbo chargers and more advanced software.

And whats the big deal if gas goes up 2 bucks? Gas going from $5 to $7 dollars a gallon only adds about $1000 dollars to my yearly fuel prices for my 12 gallon ///M Coupe with about 4 fillups per month. Over a whole year is that really too much of an increase to stop enjoying my ///M? Not in my opinion.

I bet this engine will disseminate throughout the range including the X5's, 5's, 6's, 7's and 8's ( CS concept)... it will replace the 4.8 liter 360hp/360tq engine currently used by all those models.....
