-------------------------------------------

Best New Engine of 2007

Having already introduced twin-turbos to great acclaim on the 3-litre diesel found in the 335d, 535d and X3, BMW has now developed the technology for petrol power. And the 62 judges from 30 countries decided that the finest powertrain introduced in the past 12 months was the 2,979cc twin-turbo engine that made its debut in the BMW 335i.

The light alloy six’s use of two smaller turbos – each supplying three cylinders with air – rather than a single unit ensures a faster response to changes in throttle position all the way to the 7,000rpm red line, and also seeks to eliminate lag.

The breakthrough engine shows for the first time BMW’s all-new, high- precision direct-injection system. This development maximises performance and fuel efficiency by its precise dosing of the air-fuel mix being fed. The piezo-injectors are located centrally in the combustion chamber between the inlet and exhaust valves. Direct-injection also aids combustion chamber cooling, allowing a higher compression ratio (10.2:1) to be employed to reduce consumption still further.

BMW is proud of the fact that compared with eight-cylinder engines of similar performance – 302bhp peak power, and 400Nm between 1,300rpm and 5,000rpm – the straight-six weighs 70kg less, contributing to a fuel consumption figure of 9.5L/100km (29.7mpg) on the EU combined cycle. Economy does not come at the expense of performance, however: in the 335i Coupé, 100km/h (62mph) is reached from a standstill in 5.5 seconds.

The technology-packed powerplant, which signalled BMW’s return to turbocharged petrol engines after a long absence, has drawn praise from judges around the world. Commented freelancer Paul Horrell: “The engine is unique in its combination of low-rev torque with high-rev exhilaration. And it’s lighter and more fuel-efficient than the big-cube V8 that’s probably the only other way to get the same job done.” Across the Atlantic, Chris Walton of Edmunds.com was as enthusiastic: “Combining direct injection and turbocharging will be fundamental to a new era in power production and economy. Others have done it, but none has exploited this combination to such perfection.”

According to Harald Unger of BMW engine development, the new direct- injection system on the engine is a major step forward. “Since the injector and spark plug are close together in terms of distance and timing, there are big advantages compared with first- generation lean-burning engines, where the fuel cloud was first sprayed against the piston and then to the spark plug.”

Elsewhere in the engine, materials technology plays its part in the form of lightweight camshafts, and turbine blades that are made of a special heat-resistant steel to withstand temperatures of up to 1,050°C.

Andreas, take a look at this:

Automotive industry prepares for 2007 ‘Engine Oscars’


To find out who makes the greatest engines in the world, make sure you attend the International Engine of the Year Awards 2007 Trophy Presentation, which will take place at 2pm on 9th May 2007 at Engine Expo at Messe Stuttgart, in Stuttgart, Germany.

The Awards, now in their 9th year, celebrate the very best of engine engineering, design and innovation by awarding 12 trophies including eight capacity classes as well as the Best Fuel Economy, Best New Engine and Best Performance Engine categories. The winners of the eight capacity classes are then shortlisted to possibly become the overall International Engine of the Year for 2007.

To register for Engine Expo 2007, the exhibition and forum dedicated to powertrain technology advances, and to ensure your place at the International Engine of the Year Awards Trophy Presentation, go to - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

Can BMW complete V10 triple triumph?

Having been crowned International Engine of the Year for the past two years BMW’s 5-liter V10 as housed in the M5 and M6 faces tough competition in 2007 from several new, intelligent powertrains including Toyota’s new hybrid, the 5-litre in the LS600, plus BMWs very own twin-turbo 3-litre.

Helping to decide the winners at the International Engine of the Year Awards 2007, organized by UKIP Media & Events Ltd, publishers of Engine Technology International, will be new faces from around the world. These additional jury members will be supported by the established and knowledgeable backbone of the Awards jury, which comprises 61 motoring journalists from 29 countries. The new faces for 2007 include Pablo Jorge Gualtieri, a freelancer from Argentina for a range of titles both in print such as Parabrisas and El Repuesto, John Charpidis from Greece’s 4Wheels magazine and Thierry Etienne from Le Figaro, one of France’s largest circulation daily newspapers.
The International Engine of the Year Awards are presented by Engine Technology International. The Awards involve the voluntary participation of 61 leading motoring journalists from 29 countries. Engine Technology International receives no advertising or financial support from any car manufacturer or distributor.
