The clip is a little bit cheesy as BMW goes about selling its diesel SUV is worth an M-badge message. Is that M for motorsport, or M for marketing?
Word is the new tri-turbo inline six cylinder engine has been developed by M from the ground up and will see service in a variety of model lines. The only surprise here being some won’t be badged as M cars.
It’s been reported by BimmerFile that the M diesel will produce 381hp/516ft-lb (285kW/700Nm). It’ll be a stonking engine, we’ve no doubt. We’re just still struggling a little with the short term dilution of brand M.
