it's difficult to ascertain whether the upcoming engines from munich are going to be a new big 6, i.e. 3.5litres, or a small v8 3.5litres or 4.0 litres.

can anyone shed light on this?

guessing we will also see valvetronic inline sixes sooner than later?

thanks for any input. am sure there is a lot of knowledge which will come out of the woodwork.

The 3.5 is going to be a V8 Valvetronic. It's already been announced that the new 5'ers will get the 4.0 and 3.5 liter V8s, as well as Euro-Trim 735i's. 275 HP, and somewhere near 250 ft-lbs of torque.
