I didn't realize you were talking about the engine cover itself. In that case, don't read too much into the branding. BMW uses the TwinPower term for both dual scroll single turbo and twin turbo engines. In fact, for a diesel, twin turbo is more likely in my opinion since, as far as I know, they've never done a diesel with a twin scroll (though it is always possible this happens to be their first I suppose).

On a related note, I am not sure if BMW currently uses the TwinPower brand for any of their diesel engines (such as N47 TT and N57 TT) in the rest of the world. Anyone know?
