Following in the footsteps of the page I created for the new NG6 VALVETRONIC engine, here is a collection
of pictures of the 3.0 liter turbocharged engine in the E92 335 Coupe coming September '06. It is rated at 300HP and 300lb-ft of torque,
most of which is available from 1400-5300 rpm. It makes as much power as a V8 and weighs much less. I'm told that this engine, plus a 328
version of the current Valvetronic series, will replace the E90 3.0L Valvetronic NG6 engines in the E90 325 and 330.

Valvetronic have silver valve covers, this one is back to black.

Example of HPI injector location in cylinder head.
All-aluminum crankcase from the old M54.
Cylinder liners are likely upgraded.

The turbos are by MHI (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries).

My guess they make about ~4psi in stock form.

Note the wastegate valve.

Based on chamber ratings, they are good for over 8psi.
