The new flagship 3.0-litre turbodiesel (today’s engine is currently fitted to around 150,000 BMWs each year) has also been updated to provide 306bhp (up seven per cent over the current engine) and 442lb ft (up three per cent). It also delivers 100.5bhp per litre.

It does this while returning an average 34mpg a remarkable 23 per cent improvement over the current engine.

Extensive changes have been made by BMW including a new 2000 bar piezo injection system, new inlet manifold and a new ‘variable twin turbo’ set-up. There are two turbochargers, one ‘low pressure’ and one ‘high pressure’, the latter having a variable nozzle turbine activated by an electronic actuator. The speed at which the engine can deliver its torque on driver demand has been improved by an average of 40 per cent.

The engine meets EU5 emissions regulations and is fitted with a maintenance-free particulate filter.

The new eight-speed autobox – which debuted in the BMW 760i – will now be offered on smaller BMW models, replacing the old six-speed unit. Aside from offering a wider spread of ratios, the torque converter is only allowed to slip wastefully at low revs, before locking up above 1200rpm. BMW claims that the 'box can equal the fuel economy efficiency of dual-clutch manual 'boxes.

I know what im buying next year

There is rumors that there is going to be a triple turbo diesel at 360bhp that is going in the new 5 7 X5 etc. dont know if it would make it 'down' to 3 series though.
