if true…tri turbo? two small turbos for down low and a big one for top end?

Wow, that sure would be something!

The reality is it wouldn't need 3 turbo's. With even one turbo and a bit of extra plumbing and strengthening you should get 400hp from the standard 35 engine. The weight of 3 turbo's, intercoolers etc would not be justified.

I just read the article - an electric turbocharger? Hmm...

i can see myself hoping along in a M-sport then a real X3m comes next to me with a look, you wanna race......

I have a feeling the X3M would be s single tri-scrolled turbo instead of three separate ones.
