I haven't redlined the tech sheets yet but i'm sure a qualified engineer here can explain the technical technological improvements over the prior gen.

I hope the technological improvements atleast somewhat offset the weight gain but we prob won't know until driving reviews and press gets their hands on the car.

Thanks for the technical engine details - I'd seen that thread before, but always good to have more pointers.

The engine is one of the things I'm least concerned about (apart from perhaps the power/tq curves below 3000rpm - which perhaps explain some of the X3M "lag" comments)

Would love to see similar technical docs for transmission (my #1 priority!), electrical power steering, suspension/chassis, AWD!
