New 6 Cylinder Valvetronic pic + specs
Here ya go
6 Cylinder Valvetronic
258 HP at 6,600 rpm with a maximum torque 300 Nm (221 lb-ft) at 2,500 rpm.
also
Rumor has it at 231hp for the 2.5ltr 6 pot valvy. With a lighter E90 chassis and a 6 speed SMG gearbox, the E90 325i should be a pretty quick car!
-------
Here's the latest intelligence on the next generation 3-series:
o The 4 and 2 series name designations will not be used.
o iDrive will be available in conjunction with the navigation system only, similar to the 1 series.
o Dynamic Drive will most likely not be available.
o The car will feature a central computer system that can be updated with new features throughout the car's life cycle.
o Airbag, seat and door sensors are connected, enabling the computer system to detect the size and position of all passengers and to deploy airbags as needed based on that information.
o Next generation xDrive will be available for the sedan and wagon.
o The convertible will not have a retractable hardtop.
o An improved gearbox titled CSG (Central Synchronized Gearbox - similar to Audi's DSG) will be available at the end of '06. Unlike Audi's double clutch system, it will feature a single clutch that can operate significantly faster than current ones.
o New, lighter generation of inline 6 Valvetronic engines is in the works.
o Two turbo engines are presently planned: an i6-ti with 333HP and a V8-ti with 450HP that will not be used for the 3 series.
o The various 3 series models can be produced at any of BMW's five plants.
Introduction dates:
o Sedan (E90) - IAA 2005
o Wagon (E91) - Geneva 2006
o Coupé (E92) - Paris 2006
o Convertible (E93) - Detroit 2007
Final engine line-up:
o 316i, 122 HP
o 318i, 150 HP
o 320i, 177 PS
o 323i, 204 HP
o 325i, 231 HP
o 330i, 265 HP
o 330ti, 333 HP
o M3, 401 HP
o 318d, 122 HP
o 320d, 163 HP
o 325d, 204 HP
o 330d, 238 HP
US wont get all those engines. But there is a chance we might get a diesel engine or two in 3-4 years.

This "new" engine is a 3.5L correct? I think I read somewhere a 3.5L is on the way for the next gen 3-series. Also you list this motor as having 258hp but further down say the next 330i will have 265hp?
On a side note, how were they able to boost the output of the current 2.5L and 3.0L engines??? Are the next generation of BMWs using different engines than the current models? I mean, for the 325i thats a jump of over 50hp...I'm not seeing how they can do that with the current engine line-up.

Just curious, but when you say the 2-series designation will not be used are you meaning that we won't get the 2-series? Or that we will, but it will be badged as 1-series???
