OT: 3-Series to get engine improvements
Starting with september production, the new powers are;
For europe, E90 318i 129 hp to 143 hp 318d 122 hp to 143 hp 320i 150 to 170 hp 320d 163 to 177 hp 330i 258 to 272 hp The 272hp engine from the 330i would be really nice in the 1er Coupe. Lighter than the N54 and less expensive than a 135i. |

Isn't the engine in the 330i the same N52 that's in the 328i and 128i here stateside? Man, I'm hoping SOMEONE will come up with an aftermarket software change that gets that power back.

I believe the 272 HP version currently is the engine in the 3.0 X3.

Craaaap. So I'm basically going to be stuck spending $1000 on an intake revision and $1500 on an exhaust revision just to get 14 hp and 10 lb/ft or so more out of my 128i.
No thanks. $2500 ain't worth it for such small gains. |

I just knew there was more HP in the X3 than in the 330i or 328i. :biggrin:

I am interested to see if the 128i/328i engine gets the direct injection technology; it was reported on another board that it will. Should result in better mileage and torque, and would be a nice addition. |

Interesting because the X3 theoretically, according to the reviews that I have read, is currently available with the direct-injected N52. However, the power output is not the Euro-spec'd 272 which can only be explained by emissions equipment.

The article says that the 325i and 335i are the only ones not getting DI. That's easy to explain with the 335i - it already has DI. Since the 325i, 328i and 128i all share the same basic engine, I'm assuming this means we won't be seeing DI on the 128i. |
