In honoring the all-new Twin Power Turbo engine, WardsAuto acknowledged how it increased its power and torque from the previous generation of this engine, which was already impressive. It also acknowledged its outstanding fuel economy and dynamic acceleration. Tom Murphy, Executive Editor at Wards Auto World, had this to say about the BMW brand’s engine technology:
"BMW engines can be efficient and at the same time deliciously fun to drive, without needing outrageous power or torque numbers to feel or sound gloriously potent. In the 3-Series, the brand’s volume crown jewel, it is all about leveraging the inline architecture and the sensation of perpetual balance. Mission accomplished."
Ludwig Willisch, President and CEO of BMW North America, had this to say upon accepting the award:
"We have been actually building and designing 6-cylinder engines since the 30’s ever since our great 328 sports car. The B58 is the latest generation of 6-cylinder engines and will ensure that BMW’s are powered by this engine going into 2020. We have been on the list (Wards Auto) for 21 of the 22 years and we have won more awards than any other manufacturer and that is finding commitment for the future as we celebrate our 100th Anniversary this year we are looking into the next 100 years and a lot of fantastic inline sixes."
