Why did Audi dump the bi-turbos? Any ideas, theories?

Default That, and the use of conventional oil during that time period didn't help things.
Notice how they still have 4 cyl turbo cars, running on synthetic oil.

Default I'm wrong. I was misled by the model codes once again...There was a time when the model numbers
did correspond to the engine size or was close enough. (Or it did happen in a few models...)

Can you guess how big the engine is in the 2006 325i sedan? Hint: Not 2.5L
