6-Cylinder lovers rejoice. BMW 640i will come stateside. AWD xDrive to arrive as well
BIMMERPOST NEWS 6-Cylinder lovers rejoice. BMW 640i will come stateside The upcoming BMW 6-Series Coupe will come in a 640i flavor, featuring the turbocharged inline-6 series dubbed the N55. This configuration has so far not made it to the US on the Cabrio version, but Autoblog.com has confirmed that the 640i will make it here in both Coupe and Cabrio versions when the coupe arrives this fall. The N55 is a TwinPower turbo 3.0L inline-6 pumping out 316HP and 332ft-lb of torque in European spec. In addition to the N55, Autoblog has also learnt that the AWD xDrive system will also become a new option, but only on the V8 650i. [Source: Autoblog.com] |

Yes!! I know most of you guys would like the V8 > than I6, but man, after I drove the 335i and 535i, I really fell in love with the N54/N55. So... I know some of you will strongly disagree, but YES!! Finally! 640i in NA!!

Why the hell would they call it 640i? At least stay consistent and badge it 635i
~$80k coupe, fuel economy yay, extra ~5mpg going to save $6 each week yay! I just cant get excited about this. Make it 550hp 24+mpg, thats exciting news.

740 = N54 twin turbo 535/335/135 = N55 Single turbo 335is/1///M = N54 Twin turbo I am thinking the 640 should be the N54 engine like in the 740. Let me know if you think Nam wrong... Thanks!

The 40i designation is based on power output, not by engine code. Remember, the *35i used to be a N54 and now it is an N55, however the power output remained the same and thus it kept the 35i designation. |

Yes, and I'll second what Technic said above.

http://www.bimmerfile.com/2010/11/19...ormance-boost/ I'll also add this: watch as the engines change for the F0x 7 series LCI next year. Are you willing to bet that the 740i/Li will either retain the N54 @ 320hp+, or revert to the N55 @ 300hp? If so, I'll definitely take that bet against you. Let me know and we can decide what's at stake here. Last edited by mkoesel; 07-01-2011 at 08:13 AM.. |
