Deda · 10-19-2008, 03:55 PM

Damn,now i am angry!

I ve got information that new i drive for X6 is going to be avaiabile from 03/09!

Second "great information" is that new serie 7 getting new,upgraded engines.

30i 3.0 R6 286 HP 400Nm
40i 3.0 R6 326 HP 450Nm........x6 ..306hp
50i 4.4 V8 407 HP 600Nm........same
60i 6.0 V12 544 HP 800Nm

30d 3.0 R6 245 HP 550Nm....................x6..235hp
35d 3.0 R6 299 HP 600Nm twin turbo......x6..286hp
45d 3.0 R6 354 HP 700Nm tri turbo.........none!

I feel like i am doublecrossed!

Deda, we might never use some extra 20 HP!! Which we get only at redline at top speed. . These small differences might have been concerning for us if we rode X6 against Series 7 on a race track in international races. . Ducati desmosedici is the most powerful bike in MotoGP (aprox. 230 HP) . . but Casey Stoner didn't win everytime, and Marco Melandri had a disastruous year. . It's up to the pilot to make the difference. It's cool to fantasize about the top HP and top torque. .but on a day to day basis, we barely use 40% of the engine power.

Engine choices should be no surprise. BMW has had a lot of engine choices for many years.

Not all engines will be available in all areas.

I don't see anything I should be upset about. Car configurations/options change all the time.

In the end, it is just a car and not worth fretting over.

Deda · 10-20-2008, 04:29 AM

Yeah,agree with you guys 100%..but when i saw for first time that article i was mad.

However, i feel better already..

Chuck,it is true ,it is just a car!

Tottly agree!

Deda,
I don't think 20 HP is that big of a deal, wouldn't worry about it.

Deda · 10-20-2008, 10:52 AM

agree with you,it is almost 5 %,so i dont care anymore.

Terza · 10-22-2008, 03:31 PM

Where did you get these information from? I haven't seen it anywhere else on the internet...

The 45d really looks amazing - 3 liter, 354hp/700NM...

Seeing as people remap the current 35d's to those levels, I'm guessing a 45d will be getting something like 400hp/850NM when remapped...

And this looks quite weird - 30i 3.0 R6 286 HP 400Nm
It's got the HP of an N/A engine, but a 3 liter N/A engine can't have 400 NM.
Is it a detuned 3.0i twinturbo?
