At BMW, just as there’s no such thing as striving for second place, there’s also no room for
less-than-inspiring power. Take, for example, the powerplant under the hood of the i and
i xDrive Gran Turismo. Designed for reliably smooth and quick acceleration, this TwinPower
Turbo V- serves up hp of pure exhilaration, with a wide powerband and truly inspiring top
speed. The lb-ft of maximum torque is available over an extremely broad range – from
to rpm. With a standstill to time of . seconds,
it’s just the kind of track-inspired
muscle that built BMW’s formidable reputation.
No less impressive is the -hp inline six-cylinder TwinPower Turbo engine in the i and
i xDrive Gran Turismo. With lb-ft of torque that kicks in at just rpm, hit the throttle
and in just . seconds you’re sailing past mph.

Yet, like the V- engine in the i and
i xDrive Gran Turismo, it’s also one of the most fuel-ef cient turbocharged powerplants
available.
What makes these engines so revolutionary is BMW’s Ef cientDynamics mandate. For all its
daunting power, BMW’s TwinPower Turbo V- is incredibly fuel ef cient, owing to its unique
turbocharger construction and placement. Another contributing factor: the High Precision
direct injection regulates fuel usage so precisely that it actually lowers the vehicle’s emissions
by up to fi percent, meeting U.S. Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) limits.
Both engines are paired with a groundbreaking -speed
STEPTRONIC automatic transmission.
Smooth-shifting and sporty, this transmission features taller cruising gears and a unique gear
arrangement for an unusually high ef ciency of percent in all eight gears. A faster shift time
also improves fuel ef ciency – that’s BMW’s Ef cientDynamics in action.
HIGH PERFORMANCE IS THE PRODUCT OF HIGHER STANDARDS.
