i can only guess the reason why bmw engineers went with this design is to reach packaging and emissions goals that theyd have a hard time doing if they went any other route. I bet an fmic woulda been a better idea performance wise, at least for the street, but i do however love the Vbands everywhere and direct injection is a nice touch! ---

V-Band FTW. Crazy idea to put the exhaust ports on the head on the inside. I can only imagine how hot that engine bay will get with 0 air passing over the turbos. ---

Isn’t the direct injection going to add substantial noise to the motor? ---
