2013 X5 35d - Question

I just bought a new 35d - I thought I read someplace it had twin turbo-- when I look at the engine cover-- although pretty-- doesn't look like the cars 335 as example-- with TWIN POWER etc labeled on the engine cover..

is my 2013 35d twin power turbo>? It does state this on the window sticker..

yeah I know dumb question.. I did search tho =)

They do write twin power turbo on the hood, even though the car doesn't have twin turbos. Instead, BMW implemented a twin scroll turbo, meaning that it has two phases: one for lower RPM and one for higher RPM. It should almost eliminate turbo lag. Here is a link describing the whole thing: http://www.autoevolution.com/news/bm...ned-50443.html

Dude, he's asking about the diesel. There is no twin scroll and there is no writing on the engine cover. It's not the N55, it's the M57.
