312-520: Is the only production engine in the world to feature a continuously variable length intake manifold known as the DIVA intake (not to be confused with the DISA intake as used on many other BMW production engines). The intake length path begins to shorten at 3,500 RPM and is progressively shortened until it reaches its shortest length at the engine's redline. This maximizes torque throughout the RPM range, producing

338-511: The N54B30 , the initial N63 (including the S63) did not use Valvetronic (variable valve lift) because its benefit of reducing of intake vacuum is not as important in turbocharged engines. Due to the presence of turbocharging, the N63 does not use a variable-length intake manifold . The N63 is BMW's first V8 engine to use direct injection . The N63/S63 uses a bore of 89 mm (3.50 in) and

The current organisation

494-525: The cylinder banks (on the "inside" of the V8) and the intake manifolds are located on the outside of the engine. This is opposite to the traditional layout for a V8, where the intake is inside the "V" and the exhaust manifold is on the outside. The hot-vee layout reduces the width of the engine and decreases the exhaust runner length from the exhaust valves to the turbochargers. The engine uses air-to-water intercoolers, therefore improving throttle response. Similar to

520-404: The engine were used in the production N62TU. Other changes include a different exhaust manifold on bank 2, improved catalytic converters, new pre-cat oxygen sensors, new MAF, updated engine management unit, replacement of the DIVA continuously variable length intake manifold to a DISA two-stage manifold, removal of secondary air injection ports, different spark plugs and inlet and exhaust valves with

546-418: The intake during low load conditions such as cruising on the highway or idling. The vacuum pump mounted on the bank 1 cylinder head only supplies the brake booster and certain auxiliaries with vacuum, making the use of the standard TB for manifold vacuum control a requirement for proper functioning of the crankcase ventilation system as well as the fuel evap valve and other emissions related systems.
