Correct. Alpina still uses the term "Bi-turbo" for their vehicles that they sell, but their cars are actually twin turbo.

BMW uses the term "Twin-power" which refers to the twin-scroll technology the vehicles use. Typically just 1 turbo though. M3/M4 are the exception. They use 2 single-scroll turbos.

I totally forgot about the xDrive when thinking about the tire choice. Makes sense, especially considering that you're a bit further north.
