I have some pictures from the new bmw V8 bi turbo engine.
But isnt it weird that the turbos are on the top like a supercharger.
Is this type of turbocharging ever been installed on an other car before?

here is a quote from the BMW pressrelease on the X6:

"For this is the first eight-cylinder gasoline engine in the world to feature its turbocharger in the V-section between the two rows of cylinders."

I wonder why they opted for that position,and that postion will require some extra room betwwen the engine and the hood,will we see a hood bulge in models equipped with that engine?

No I don't think so. The engine will sit low enough for a normal hood.
