Foreword.

BMW is not just a car brand. This is an ideology. This is a lifestyle. For those who follow this ideology, there are only two types of cars - BMW and all the others. Once in a Bavarian car, you have two paths - either you will return to the Bavarians again and again, or you will avoid them. Either like it or not. There is no one indifferent to BMW.

In our country, the attitude to these cars is special, historically, this car is associated with strength. Any model. In any configuration. It will be a BMW, with its unique character and indescribable charisma.

But times go by, BMW has ceased to be a purely masculine car, new models and modifications appear, the brand acquires the features of "mass character" without losing its individuality.

BMW N20 2.0 turbo engine 184 hp

For a product to become widespread (and this is the goal of any manufacturer), it must meet several criteria, one of which is accessibility to a wide audience. How to make a product available without losing manufacturability?

Minimize production costs. And so it turned out that marketers rule the show, and engineers must fit into the tough demands of the market.

Dedicated to Bavarian engine builders ...

The modern market demands from car manufacturers that their products are environmentally friendly, economical and technological.

The multi-liter atmospheric gluttonous V8s give way to turbo engines - they are lighter, and their appetite is more modest. This made it possible to build on the basis of one engine several modifications differing in power and torque, it is enough just to replace the turbocharger, fuel injectors and, possibly, an intercooler. But pressurization technologies do not stand still - modern turbines with variable geometry allowed engineers to create one engine that would have several degrees of boost, differing only in the control program.

So more recently, in-line atmospheric sixes of the BMW N52 were in use, which, with a working volume of 2.5 liters, produced from 177 to 230 Horse power... But they were replaced by the N20 turbo four, with a volume of two liters, and they already develop from 184 to 245 hp. De facto, this is the same engine that is choked by software for the 184 strength version, because it is much cheaper to artificially reduce power than to develop and produce another engine.

For the manufacturer, this is a saving, but for us, by purchasing a car from a dealer, for example, a BMW 520i, to do chip tuning, get 245 real Bavarian horses, and thus become the owner of a BMW 528i.

Take advantage of the offer from tuning studio Winde and return the strangled horses of your 2.0 turbo 184 hp engine. This engine can be found under the hood of the 320i and 520i models in the latest F30 and F10 bodies.

The situation is similar for 320i - 328i cars (the same engine is used there), and for 116i - 118i - these cars also have the same engine, which produces 136 or 170 hp depending on the version.

Use the full potential of your car, contact the specialists of tuning studio Winde, and we will show you what your BMW can be!

Speaking about the engines of modern Bavarians, it is impossible to remain silent about their diesels - these are truly masterpieces of engineering.

And every year more and more buyers vote with a ruble for cars that consume heavy fuel - they are economical, environmentally friendly, have excellent traction from the very bottom - everything that is needed for comfortable control and enjoyment of driving.

The most popular in the domestic market are four- and six-cylinder engines with a capacity of 184 and 245 horsepower with the designation N47 and N57, respectively.

Engine BMW 2.0 turbodiesel 184 hp

However, thanks to modern designs and applied technological solutions, these engines can give you much more!

How about 215 horsepower from the four and 285 from the six? And the increase in torque is even more impressive.

But we should not forget that the latest generations of BMWs are equipped with the most modern electronics, and some models are equipped with so-called protected control units - in this case, you can increase the thrust-to-weight ratio of the car by installing a special device - a power increase unit.

As a rule, it controls the operation of the fuel supply and pressurization systems, does not require any modifications to the car, and is easy to install and dismantle. When choosing a block, one should be guided not only by the manufacturer's promises, but also by real data from those who have already dealt with such devices.

Unfortunately, most of the power increase units on the market look very pale when measured on a power bench.

A simple advice on how to distinguish professionals from nimble dealers - ask if the seller has a power stand where he is ready to confirm to you his declared increase in engine power and torque.

Indeed, the average car owner is not able to distinguish on the road whether the power has increased by 10 or 20%. And most importantly, is the engine in a safe operating area.

These questions can only be answered by real measurements at a power test bench with the removal of all important engine parameters.

In-line diesel engine 3.0 l N57

Beware of cheap and frankly low-quality devices, of which a huge number have appeared recently - from them you may not only not get a tangible increase, but also cause damage fuel system your car!

When making a choice in favor of this or that option, remember: your car is the pinnacle of the evolution of engineering! Motors from Bavaria have always been famous for their technical characteristics, therefore, only professionals of the highest category are able to make them even better, so you should not risk and entrust the work of software tuning to amateurs, and even more so use second-class power increase units.

BMW is a special car, and you need an appropriate approach to it.

An example of a high-quality additional unit for increasing the power of turbocharged gasoline and diesel engines is the EPC unit, Holland.

This box of the highest quality works on 3 and 4 channels, has been tested at our stand in the Winde tuning studio, showing itself to be a product worthy of the BMW brand.

List of all BMW engines. Variants of 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 6-, 8-, 10-, 12- and 16-cylinder power units, their technical characteristics, photos, years of production, models on which they were used. Most of the power units for the entire production period have proven their reliability and were nominated as "" in the "International Engine of the Year" competition.

BMW engine number decoding

Decryption and ICE designation BMW by engine model:

• family of engines, mainly denoted by the letter:
  • M - engine developed before 2001;
  • N - engine developed after 2001. Beginning in the early 2000s, BMW revised its naming strategy to make it easier to understand and provide more detailed information on the engine updates. New to the N Series engines is a new design, material of manufacture of parts and technology used in the motor itself;
  • B - modular engine. Since 2013, BMW has been introducing a new family of modular engines. The first cars to receive the new "B" series engines were the hybrid sport car and the lineup compact Mini. Both of these cars were powered by a B38 3-cylinder turbocharged - direct injection - Valvetronic engine. The B Series modular engine family includes gasoline and diesel powertrains that share common components and architecture (60% of the parts are identical, for example, a 3-cylinder engine has components from a 4-cylinder B Series engine). The volume of the engine increases in steps of 500 cubic centimeters - 1.5l - I3, 2.0l - I4, 2.5l - I6, 3.0l - I6, etc .;
  • S - BMW Motorsport engine;
  • P - BMW Motorsport racing engine;
  • W - engine from a "third-party" developer;

  • or a type test requirement (changes that require new type tests):
    • A - standard;
    • B-Z - as required, for example, ROZ 87;
• technical version for designation in BMW engines, except for M series engines and replaces the previous TU suffix:
  • from 0 to 9;

BMW also has a different numbering system for internal production and use. This is the code printed on the side of the cylinder block used on assembly plant BMW also during other service when it comes to the actual identity of the engine. In most cases, this code is applied to the flat section of the block on the driver's side.

For example "30 6T 2 04N", where:

• 30 - engine volume 3.0 liters;
• 6 - six-cylinder engine;
• T - engine type, in this case power unit with a turbine;
• 2 - index of differentiation;

BMW N46B20 engine reliability, problems and repair

The next generation of BMW in-line four-cylinder engines following the N42B20 was named the N46, and the new 2-liter version was the N46B20. This motor was created on the basis and at first glance does not differ from its predecessor, but this is not so. The differences between the BMW N42 and the N46 are as follows: a different crankshaft, balance shafts, connecting rods and a cylinder head cover, a redesigned intake manifold, a modified timing chain tensioner, new candles and a generator, the Valvetronic control unit is integrated into the ECU and some other little things. Otherwise, this is the same N42 with its pros and cons.
Engine management system Bosch ME 9.2 / Bosch MV17.4.6.
Since 2007, the engine has been slightly modernized, the intake manifold and the exhaust camshaft have been replaced.
This engine was used on BMW cars with an index of 18i and 20i.
The N46B20 motor served as the basis for the development younger brother in the face.
In addition, the N46B20 has several related models from the 42nd family: and .
Replaced the engine in 2012 with a new one, with a displacement of only 1.6 liters.

BMW N46B20 engine problems and malfunctions

1. Zhor of oil. The reasons for the phenomenon, as on the N42, are the use of low-quality, non-recommended BMW engine oil and out of order valve stem seals... As a result, under the replacement of the caps, and a little later and oil scraper rings... This happens, on average, after 50 thousand kilometers. Poor quality oil also entails problems with Valvetronic, Vanos, oil pump, KVKG and so on. It is definitely not worth saving here.
2. Vibration. This nuisance is removed by cleaning the VANOS variable valve timing system.
3. Noise, diesel. The reasons are the same as on the N42: tensioner or extended timing chain. After about 100 thousand km, such problems are not uncommon.
Besides, after 50 thousand km, it may start to flow and ask for a replacement valve cover gasket, over time, a vacuum pump also flows and asks for repair.
To protect yourself as much as possible from possible troubles, you need to use only high-quality and recommended by the manufacturer working fluids, regularly service and monitor the condition of your N46B20. If these conditions are met, most likely, serious problems will bypass you and the engine will run like clockwork.

BMW N46B20 engine tuning

Chip tuning

The most commonplace way to add some horsepower to the N46B20 is with aggressive firmware, along with a low-drag filter and roll-off exhaust. After such transformations, your motor will receive about 10 hp in plus. and a sense of dynamics.
In addition to the firmware, there are ready-made compressor kits on the market with everything you need to get 220+ hp, but the cost of such solutions is quite high and is about half the price of your car. Given this, this option is of little relevance for an ordinary car enthusiast.

BMW N47 engine reliability, problems and repair

On a BMW 1-series car in the back of E87, in 2007, appeared diesel engine BMW N47, which replaced the M47. Unlike its predecessor, the N47 uses a new lightweight, closed aluminum cylinder block with cast iron sleeves, two balance shafts and a cylinder diameter of 84 mm. Inside the block is a forged crankshaft with a piston stroke of 90 mm and forged connecting rods. The compression height of the pistons is 47 mm, and the compression ratio is 16.5. Together this gave a working volume of 2 liters.
On top of the block is an aluminum 16-valve head with two camshafts. The diameter of the intake valves is 27.2 mm, the exhaust valves are 24.6 mm, and the valve stem is 5 mm thick.
BMW N47 engines received injection system Common rail and turbocharged with intercooler. The turbine used on the first versions (116 HP and 143 HP) is a Garrett GTB1749VK with variable geometry.
The timing drive here is chain and the chain is located at the back of the motor. The timing chain resource on the N47 is designed for the entire life of the motor, but in reality there is no durability, the problems with the chain are written below. It also uses an EGR valve, a dual-mass flywheel and a block Bosch control DDE7.0 / DDE 7.1.

In parallel with this engine, a version with a working volume of 1.6 liters was produced - N47D16, as well as a 6-cylinder diesel engine N57.

Since 2014, the N47 has been smoothly replaced by the more modern B47 diesel engine.

BMW N47 engine problems and malfunctions

1. Noise from the rear of the motor. The most famous N47 disease caused by an extended timing chain, its service life in practice is about 100 thousand km. Often the problem occurs much earlier. There is only one solution - a replacement and it is not worth delaying with it, otherwise a breakage may occur. An additional trouble with replacing the chain on the N47 diesel is the need to remove the engine, since the chain is located at the back. In motors until 2009, the chain is changed along with the crankshaft.
2. The crankshaft damper can also cause extraneous sounds, it serves about 100 thousand km, sometimes more, then requires replacement.
3. Swirl flaps. By analogy with the M47, here swirl flaps are installed in the intake manifold, but unlike the M47, they cannot get into the engine. However, from the operation of the USR system, the dampers can be completely covered with carbon deposits. To prevent this from happening, it is better to muffle the EGR valve, and clean the dampers together with the manifold, or, even better, remove them and install plugs. In order for the motor to work extremely adequately, after this operation, you need to flash the control unit for work without all this good.

In addition, overheating of this engine can lead to the formation of cracks in the block between the cylinders, which you can try to weld, but there is a high probability that this will not help and you will have to look for a block of cylinders without cracks. The service life of the turbines is about 200 thousand km, but it can be even more.
The resource of the BMW N47 engine depends on maintenance, and if illnesses are cured in time, it can exceed 250-300 thousand km or more.
To reduce the likelihood of engine problems, it is advisable to change more often engine oil, use only the original one recommended by the manufacturer, also pour normal fuel, service on time and do not drive to full height.

BMW N47 engine tuning

Chip tuning

To increase the power of your motor, it is enough to go to a tuning office and fill in a new firmware. Re-flashing N47 to 116d and 118d in the E87 and E90 bodies gives a power increase of 35-50 hp. Versions with the index 20d in the bodies of E87, E90, E60, E84 and E83, you can swing up to 210-220 hp. The N47 TOP engine allows you to remove 240-250 hp using chip tuning.
N47TU engines with a power of 116 hp. and 143 hp. make it possible to get 185-200 hp on a standard turbine.
N47TU 184 hp versions are stitched in 215, and with a downpipe of 230 hp.
The top-end N47S1 gives a chance to get 240+ hp with the firmware, and with the downpipe 280 hp.

An article about the best BMW engines - their technical characteristics and important features... At the end of the article - an interesting video about how BMW motors are made in China.

The content of the article:

The opinion that the quality and productivity of an engine depends on its volume has long been in the past - modern trends in mechanical engineering are based on a decrease in the volume of a motor with a simultaneous increase in its power.

BMW has been a leader in the automotive market for many years. The engines, designed by the engineers of the famous representative of the German automotive industry, meet all modern requirements. Back in the middle of the last century, the creators of the brand formulated a concept that reflected the raison d'être of their existence as car creators. It sounded like this: "The car is for drivers."

Brand history

The BMW company dates back to 1913. In the then small German town of Munich, two small companies engaged in the production of engines for the aviation industry merged. The new venture was named Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (BFW).

In 1917, the logo was created, which in our time is a sign of High Quality... But its meaning is not known to everyone. Since the history of the brand began with aircraft construction, the created logo is directly related to aircraft - it depicts an aircraft propeller against a blue sky.

The name BMW, by which the company is known to modern consumers, appeared in 1920, after the production of any aircraft was prohibited under the Versailles Treaty in Germany. For some time, the BMW plant produced brakes for aircraft. But the founders of the company decided not to linger in the aviation industry - in 1923, the first BMW motorcycle was created.

It must be said that the two-wheeled vehicles produced by the German automobile giant still win the hearts of fans of extreme sports and high speeds. The first car left the assembly line only in 1929.

Since its inception car brand The BMW company has experienced several major failures. But despite this, they were able to climb the "Auto-Olympus" and take their place of honor there. Engines manufactured by the concern have been holding leading positions in the most reputable world competitions for several years. What are the motors German manufacturer are considered the best in the world?

First of the first

1999 was a significant year for all representatives of the automotive business and production. It was in that year that a competition was held for the first time to identify the best car engine... Among the nominees were the largest companies from all over the world. The first place was taken absolutely deservedly diesel motors produced by BMW:

The device was produced in two versions: 3.9 and 4.4 liters. The cylinder block and crankcase were made of cast iron, which significantly increased the weight of the engine, but at the same time gave the engine parts high strength.

The best among gasoline engines

Among motorists, cars with a gasoline engine are very popular. This demand is due to the simplicity of production and, as a result, the relatively low cost of the motor.

Another important advantage of the unit is the ability to develop high speed in a short period of time.

Gasoline engines are not considered too economical, but recently the installation and use of LPG, which functions perfectly in tandem with gasoline engine internal combustion solves this problem.

Among gasoline engines produced by BMW, the following models can be noted:

The innovative VANOS valve timing system allows you to significantly increase the productivity of the device, while significantly reducing fuel consumption.

The use of aluminum alloy greatly facilitates the construction of the motor. This engine model is characterized by the complexity of the lubrication process.

Best Diesel Engine

Diesel cars have long and firmly entered the hearts and garages of motorists all over the world. This is a truly versatile unit. It perfectly copes with the "traction" loads and is able to withstand the transportation of large loads on an ongoing basis. At the same time, it copes well with the "urban" mode of operation.

Endless braking and abrupt starts are tolerated by the diesel engine without too much trouble. But for high-speed tracks and racing cars, this is far from the best option.

Economy is also a clear advantage of diesel - diesel fuel cheaper than gasoline.

Which diesel engine from BMW was recognized as the best by international experts?

16-valve N47, quite successfully replacing its predecessor - the diesel M47. 4 cylinders, 2 camshafts, injection system reaching 2200 bar, aluminum crankcase - this is not all technical advantages, which allowed us to take first places in the categories "Best New Developments" and " Best engine volume from 1.8 to 2.0 liters. "

This engine is presented in two configurations - 1.6 and 2.0 liters. But it was the two-liter power unit that won the above awards. The engine is installed on most E and F class models.

Recent achievements

Modern society dictates more and more new rules. This also affected the requirements for internal combustion engines. The 21st century car enthusiast wants to get the maximum power from the motor with a minimum of financial investment.

An important factor is the environmental friendliness of transport.“Less emissions, more clean air” is what consumers demand from car manufacturers. And the concern BMW has provided fans of their cars with the opportunity to "make the world cleaner."

BMW B58- petrol 6-cylinder turbocharged engine, which appeared to the eyes of car owners in early May 2015. During such a short period of its existence, he managed to receive several awards of the highest category at international competitions. Among consumers, it is called "Breakthrough in engine building" and nothing else.

The use of aluminum alloys and polymer composites has significantly reduced the overall weight of the engine. The difference with the N55, which is gradually being replaced by the B58, is in the order of 100 kg. The level of carbon dioxide emissions is fully compliant with the Euro-6 category. That cannot but rejoice the fighters for the environment.

To minimize fuel consumption, the B58 uses an innovative pump control card and a direct line in the injection system. TwinPower Turbo refers to the use of several technologies at once: VANOS, Valvetronic, Turbocharging and Direct injection.

Conclusion

The BMW lettering has long been a hallmark of high quality and innovative technology in the automotive world. This applies to all products coming off the assembly line of the factories of the German brand. Like the first models created in the early 19th century, modern turbocharged engines surprise with their technical characteristics.

From the moment of the creation of the first car model 303 to the present day, the concept "Car - for the driver" remains relevant. Both constructors and brand designers are guided by it. Stylish design and manufacturability - a combination that gives the right BMW cars wear the proud title of the leader of the global automotive industry.
