There are more N20 variants to come with an output somewhere in between these two (probably 23i or 25i models).

For the US, only the 28i variant is likely to be used as the new Z4 28i and 528i show.


Best regards,

if both are 1994cc displacement, with twinpower turbo, wouldn't bmw offer the higher end 240ish hp variant across the brand based on N20 platform?
This doesn't sounds not logical....
Two similar engine, but hp per liter are totally different.
241hp/2.0L = 120.5hp per liter
184hp/2.0L = 92hp per liter.

if using the same ratio of the 241hp.
it seems that the displacement of this 181hp/ 180lb-ft engine is the same as the one powering the Mini Cooper S/ Countryman S.
181hp/1.6L = 113hp per liter
