..and in BMW's own press release: "...combines the latest injection technology and Valvetronic fully variable valve control including double-VANOS with innovative turbocharger technology." |
I did. It also states: " Twin-scroll turbocharging is basically the core technology for TwinPower Turbo BMWs, but not all them have it nowadays."
And from what I remember, TwinPower was when BMW started using the twin-scrolls. It's just that now, they don't always use twin-scroll. Soooo apparently we have to believe that TwinPower Turbo means turbo with valvetronic and direct injection. Even though BMW used valvetronic before turbo charging and the TwinPower name. And I don't think they use DI in their diesels.
In any event, it's a crappy misleading name. I have met several people that thought they had two turbos, only to be confused and a tad bit disappointed when I told them they only have one (not that it matters).
