Yes it says " TwinPower Turbo"! As you know because you drive the equivalent X4, this is not the same as "Twin Turbo Charger"!

BMW TwinPower Turbo diesel engines.
The consistent implementation of BMW EfficientDynamics ideas is again evident in the BMW TwinPower Turbo diesel engines. They are made in lightweight aluminium construction and use variable turbine geometry, which permits a more efficient use of exhaust heat energy. This results in the turbo engine performing like a much larger aspirated engine and achieving this special performance with lowered consumption.
The common rail injection system guarantees optimum combustion. An important characteristic of this system is that the injection pressure can be created autonomously of the speed of the engine and the amount injected. Combined with a powerful control unit and injection nozzles, this markedly reduces consumption and emissions and increases running smoothness.
A fully-variable performance control and the unique turbocharging technology round off the innovation package with less space and weight. In total, these diesel engines offer typical BMW torque with low consumption – a unique combination of efficiency and dynamics.
