SPOTTED: E70 N54 mule
I took a nice afternoon drive around the Greenville area today, and went out to Greer where the plant is and really had a nice drive, but as I expected for a sunday, saw nothing "special".
Until i went to Panera. There was a Silver E70 sitting there, and the only thing that really caught my eye were the stupid reflectors they glued on the mirrors. It also had rims I haven't seen before. Naturally, my camera was out in my car, so I stepped outside, and tried to take a picture with my iPhone as discretely as possible. Hard, seeming as there were two people getting into it. I heard it start, and the unmistakable growl of the N54, and caught one picture as he tore off. I'll upload it in about 45 minutes when I have my cord back.  nothing too special. i wish i had the video camera Last edited by Meiac09 : 08-31-2008 at 10:05 PM.

The N54 is the inline 6 twin-turbo. But yes, apparently both the 6 cylinder and the 8 cylinder will be twin turbo, just like the X6.

I'd be interested to see where the N54 engine fits in real-world performance between the [US version] TT diesel and 4.8i. I would've easily paid the price between the 3.0si & 4.8i for the 326hp. I was complaining how $10k for the jump to the 4.8i wasn't ideal... half way to that would've been perfect for me.

They were taped, with manufacturer plates. If I was faster / had balls, I would have taken a picture of the mirrors. They had basically an orange strip of reflector super glues to the top edge. You can sort of see them, the taped roundels, and if you zoom in (you probably can't I just used iPhoto on the original iphone pic) you can see the white base for the SC MFR tag. I really wish I had my damn P+S, but I went in for lunch after a fruitless trip to Greer.
