We hope that you make BMW fans out there, as you with four-cylinder charge. According to Autocar, the German automaker committed, strapping a turbo charger on all its four-cylinder engines in the near future. The report cited "company sources" as saying that the company over the use of the turbo four pots for applications up to 241 PS plans. Above this magic number, the tried and true straight-six to take a walk.

In addition, each of the company's four-cylinder is to help everyone on the 2.0-liter aluminum-block with different turbocharger and engine management crank based on levels of punch. Autocar says the block is sprayed-iron liners that are only 0.3 mm thick instead of the conventional 1.5 mm cast iron cylinder liners for added durability and reduced weight to use.

The opportunities we are the first iteration of the lumps appear in the upcoming X1, the Autocar says will eventually be seen later this week for the first time. It will pack the most powerful version of the four-cylinder, but BMW has the mill at about 245 hp thanks rated a twin-scroll turbocharger, variable valve timing and a high-pressure injection system. What's a few ponies with friends?
