Post by Greer4411 » Mon Aug 18, 2014 6:08 pm

Hey guys,

What engine is in the 35is as of sept 14. Is it the N54 twin turbo or N55 single twin scroll engine.

looked around and some seem to think this year bmw has put in N55 engine.

cheers

Jamie

I don't think the N55 has or will come to the 35iS. I think all are N54's.

It's the N54, the same one found in the 1M. I think the American muted the N55 twin scroll was coming but there hasn't been any chat on a UK front.
