kiwi535 538 Report post Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) it will be different but it will still be BMW (and good).One only has to drive one of the newer diesels to realise that BMW very surely have the turbo concept well in grasp. I may have to grab a BMW v8 while i still can. Edited February 4, 2011 by kiwi535 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2313 Report post Posted February 4, 2011 Not really a bad thing - more power, less fuel, less carbon dioxide for the trees... But from a nostalgic point of view it is a little sad. I've never been a fan of turbocharging.... It spoils the intake sound and muddles the exhaust note. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never been a fan of turbocharging.... It spoils the intake sound and muddles the exhaust note. Couldn't agree more. Nothing beats the exhaust note of an N/A petrol motor.
