Rumors of BMW M240i xDrive’s Upgraded Engine for Europe in 2027

When discussions around combustion engines and emissions regulations arise, BMW enthusiasts may brace themselves for disappointment. However, recent developments suggest that BMW is taking steps to address power discrepancies in upcoming models.

Reports indicate that the M440i may not be the only model receiving an engine upgrade. The smaller M240i is rumored to also benefit from the B58B30M3 engine revision, with the switch scheduled for April 2027. This upgrade is expected to deliver a power increase to 394 hp, a significant improvement from the current output. Both the M240i and M440i received engine upgrades last year, providing more power and torque.

BMW engineers seem to have found a way to enhance engine performance while meeting stringent emission standards. In addition to the 2 Series Coupe and 4 Series Coupe/Convertible, the new X5 is also slated to receive the B58B30M3 engine. Rumors suggest that the upcoming luxury SUV will boast 394 hp, a figure that will likely be confirmed by BMW in the near future.

Insider information hints at the transition of the upcoming 7 Series LCI to the latest six-cylinder gasoline engine, further highlighting BMW’s commitment to delivering powerful and efficient engines across its lineup.

Unfortunately, there is no indication of the rear-wheel-drive M240i making a return to Europe, as the RWD model was phased out a few years ago. However, recent leaks suggest that an M2 xDrive variant may be on the horizon, offering enthusiasts a new option in the lineup.

As BMW continues to innovate and enhance its lineup, updates to the 2 Series Coupe and M2 models are expected to keep enthusiasts engaged. With the potential introduction of an M2 CSL in the future, BMW is poised to offer a diverse and exciting range of performance vehicles.
