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.

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..... Last edited by wwanthony; 06-03-2015 at 09:11 PM.. |

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.
