International Engine of the Year 2007: BMW 3-liter twin-turbo (335i)

So its 3 in a row

5 awards for BMW in "International Engine of the Year" but there are 11 other categories as well to count in. If we add them too BMW has won a lot more awards than those 5.

Yeah, already 7 won in 2007

Well done BMW, who seem to rule at engines!!!

Wonder what's going to win next year, is it going to be the new V8 from the M3??

[klier]

2008 will be very interesting too:

New M3 engine (probably overall Engine of the Year 2008)
New 2.0 TT diesel (204 hp)

New V8/V8 turbo????
New V12????
Inline 4 Turbo????

That was expected.

Next year BMW are going to win again: with N54 3.0L I6 HPI bi-turbo.

And then with V8 from M3 ...

And then ...

And press release for 335i coupe was just issued then - few week before (on April 21st).

BMW - great engines since the 1930s.
or
BMW - 7 and 1/2 decades or motor excellence.
or
BMW - motor excellence was, is and will always be expected.

I want to know how big BMW's "BRIBING BUDGET" is.

j/k

Congrats to BMW.
