Sunday, June 22, 2008    BMW Twin-Turbo 4.4 liter V-8   The new BMW twin-turbo V-8 has been engineered for a new line of cross-over SUVs for 2009. Technically, it's a unique peice of work: instead of the usual turbocharger location that you'd expect, the turbos are housed inside the V of the engine. The cylinders heads are reversed, with the exhaust ports inside the V and the intake ports on the outside. Advantage: packaging of the engine in roughly the same width and length as the standard V-8. Disadvantage: height, heat on the top of the engine, and management of overall airflow thru the engine compartment.  DrivingEnthusiast.net offers extensive BMW super high-res images of the new engine so that readers can study this fascinating new engine in detail. A sample low-res image is shown to the right. Follow the link http://www.DrivingEnthusiast.net/sec-bmw/ (suggest <right click> and <open in new tab>) to the new BMW section and look under Engines for full detailed information. Similar information is also available for the existing twin-turbo inline 6.
