 Gizmag: BMW reveals twin-turbo inline six
 

BMW unveils biturbo 3.0-litre six with the same power and more torque than the 4.0-litre eight cylinder engine. The first production twin-turbo inline 6 sincve the legendary Supra TT has been reveiled by BMW. Details at the link.

But, question is, will it develop the same kind of aftermarket support as the Supra TT enjoys?

Some images follow.... *many* more are on the site. You can see form these images that this is not a sequential TT like the Supra, instead the beemer relies on low-inertia turbos. The new engine only makes 30% more torque, and 15% more HP. Not particularly powerful. And there were serious durability issues during development. The engine certainly doesn't have the ultimate durability the Supra TT offered.
