I found the tri turbo 6 cylinder engine
It's in the new m550d. It's a diesel engine. I wonder if the patents on this engine were the origin of the rumor that the new m3 is supposed to have a tri turbo six. Interesting.....

Well that's interesting. This makes me even less enthusiastic for the next M. The other hope I was holding on to is that they'll have a high output inline 6 like in the E46, plus the turbos. I won't be holding my breath on that one though.

I don't understand why the tri-turbo rumor gets around. It would be unnecessarily complicated for an inline 6. If the electric-driven compressor is to help with low-end torque with a larger turbo taking over at mid-high revs, that sort of makes sense. But not a tri-turbo setup for a gasoline I6... compressor surge is going to ruin the party.
