Does 2016 X5/X6 get new engines?

Do we get the new b58 engines?

I wouldn't bet on that happening. The current engine lineup is perfect for the different market segments, plus I think the inline 6 is doing it's job on the F15/F16. Wouldn't mind a bit more power though.

LCI seems like the perfect time to introduce the B58 to the F15. I think that happens two model years from now.

I think it happens with the next redesign, not for the facelift. So assuming the facelift happens in 2017.....2021+.

Maybe not... Based on the 2016 CAFE standards, automakers must meet the Average fuel economy as follows...

Quote:
The average fuel economy for cars must improve from the current 27.5 mpg, where it has been since 1990, to 37.8 mpg by 2016. The truck standard has to rise from 23.5 mpg to 28.8.

This means cars must improve by 37 percent, trucks by 23 percent. Combined, cars and trucks in 2016 should average 34.1 mpg, up 35 percent from the current 25.3 mpg—a jump of 5.1 percent per year.

In order to achieve this BMW needs a new engine by end of this year.

I hear you, but I would not be surprised if they try to make adjustments to the current engines.

Is there a precedent for changing the engine during the 7 year product cycle for any model? I don't know....

EDIT: I quick google says the answer is yes. They do change engines for the facelift. Looks like they are doing it for the 3 and 4 series. Interesting....looks like the 40i is coming soon.....

This is the reason that Mercedes went to a 4 banger for the diesel ML

They will most likely change to the B58 engine after The LCI, like with the F30.
There's a spec sheet floating around here with The 2016 BMW line up and the X5 will get the N55

Alpina is already offering this engine in their XD3. I wouldn't be surprised if they offered it in a special diesel performance line-up. With the X5 50i and the X5M so close in acceleration, I'm thinking they'll scrap the 50i in favor of a souped-up diesel. With a 0-60 time in a little over 5 seconds, it would make sense, but then again you're talking about BMW.
