The BMW M62 is a V8 DOHC piston engine which replaced the M60 and was produced from 1994 to 2005. Compared with its M60 predecessor, the M62 features Alusil cylinder liners[1] (in markets where high sulphur fuel was sold) and a single row timing chain.[2] In 1998, variable valve timing (called VANOS by BMW) was added to the M62. The M62B46 is a (4,619 cc (282 cu in)) version producing 255 kW (347 PS; 342 hp) and 480 N·m (354 lb·ft) of torque.[7] The stroke is 85 mm (3.3 in) and the bore is 93 mm (3.7 in). Technically this engine is very similar to the M62TUB44, with VANOS on the intake cams. This engine developed by Alpina is based on the M62TUB44.[WIKI]
