I heard that the 3.0 twin turbo is a major guzzler. I wonder how it compares to the NA 4.0 engine

I can tell you this much..I'm averaging 16lt/100kms with my 540i

damn...

I might have to scrap my 540i order and get a 535d instead. BMW engines have never been accused of having good mileage before...

I wonder if the new 3.0 in-line 6 in the 530i will be 270hp version.

The 535i should go with a gallon (about 4 litres) less.

Power don't come cheap.
