Yes first launch with Twin Power Turbo 2.8i and then when the 1er Sporthatch comes along bringing additional new engines. 1er will be all four cylinders. As will X1 which will receive the 2.5i Twin power Turbo once the 1er is launched.
The move leads to the demise of the BMW NA Six Cylinder engine in place of more powerful and more efficient Turbo-charged four cylinders.

Is Canada getting the 2.5i Twin Power Turbo at launch as well as the 2.8i Twin Power Turbo? Because I thought the launch here was around March 2011. Thanks.

Remember, BMW is preparing to introduce not one but actually two new turbocharged 4 cylinder engine families. I have seen these referred to as N13 and N20 though I don't know if those names are correct/official. At any rate, it could very well be that the 2.8i is the N20 and the 2.5i is the N13. This would explain the staggered launch, in that these two could very well be different engines altogether. However, this is just my speculation. Perhaps SCOTT can comment, or we'll just have to wait and see. |

http://e84.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=477885 Although this is for Europe, it is a forgone conclusion that when the X1 comes hear later this year the N52 I6 will not be a part of the lineup. |
