Which raises another question: What will the drivability of the 3.0 be? BMW has certainly comprompised here in the past, for the sake of emissions control. Example: the slow throttle return of the 2.8.

: The new engine meets the much stricter future european and US emission laws, so not only will it be more powerful (mostly in HP, sorry) but also more fuel efficient.

: : I read that the 2000 193HP and 206fp of torque will be replaced by a "530" 2001 with 225HP and 214fp of torque:

: : 2 question: what could explain a ~16% increase in HP but marginal torque increase?

: : And knowing that torque is the most important ...what s the point of changing engine?
