The M60B40 served as the model for the small V8 M60B30, which had a cylinder block with a short-stroke cast crankshaft (stroke 67.6 mm as opposed to 80 mm for the M60B40) and a cylinder diameter of 84 mm instead of 89 mm. Pistons and connecting rods were replaced, respectively. Cylinder heads from a 4-liter […]

The M60B40 engine block has a forged crankshaft, nickel-plated liners, and a 90° camber aluminum construction. Since the end of 1994, the piston has also changed, and the block has been swapped out for a more dependable aluminum one. Each aluminum cylinder has four valves, two camshafts, and hydraulic compensators. The intake and exhaust valves […]

In 1996, the M60B30 was superseded by the new junior V8 BMW M62B35 model. This engine was based on the M62B44 engine, which had its cylinder diameter reduced to 84 mm and a short-stroke crankshaft installed in its block. Only since 1998 have the sleeves changed from nikasil to alusil. The upgraded motor had new […]

A new, modified M62 series took the place of the M60 engines in 1996, while the upgraded M62B44 engine took the place of the M60B40. The 4.4-liter power unit’s predecessor, the M60B40, served as the model. Its cylinder block was modified to accommodate a larger cylinder diameter; the sleeves were originally made of nikasil, but […]

The M60 was replaced by the BMW M62 engine, which was manufactured between 2001 and 2003. When the BMW X5 E53 was first introduced in 1999, it immediately became known as a dynamic sports SUV, and the standard 4.4-liter M62B44 engine didn’t seem to have enough power. The M62B46 engine emerged as a result of […]

Based on the M62B46, Alpina created the BMW M62B48 engine (also known as the Alpina F5). This engine and the M62TUB44 are comparable technically. In late 2002, the E39 B10 was the first vehicle to use the F5 engine. The F4/1 engine’s primary change is a longer stroke, which increases engine capacity to 4837cc from […]

The older brother N62B44 served as the model for the N62B36, which was developed by replacing the connecting rods, reducing the cylinder diameter to 84 mm (from 92 mm), and installing a crankshaft with a stroke of 81.2 mm (from 82.7 mm) in the cylinder block. The cylinder head is comparable to its 4.4-liter equivalent, […]

Alongside the large-capacity N62B48 engine, its younger sibling, the N62B40, was also released. The N62B48 served as the model for this motor. The cylinder diameter was lowered from 93 mm to 87 mm, and a crankshaft with a piston stroke of 84.1 mm was installed in the cylinder block. In contrast to the N62B36, the […]

There are two versions of the BMW N62B44 engine. Both versions have the same displacement, power, bore, and stroke: 4.4 liters (4398 cc), 92 mm bore, and 82.7 mm stroke. One version’s developed power is 320 horsepower at 6100 rpm and 440 Nm of torque at 3700 rpm. The second version produces 450 Nm of […]

There are two BMW N62B48 engine versions. Both versions have the same engine displacement, power, bore, and stroke: 4.8 liters (4799 cc), 93 mm for the bore, and 88.3 mm for the piston stroke. One version can produce 500 Nm of torque at 3500 rpm and 265 kW (360 horsepower) at 6200 rpm. At 6300 […]
