BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo using BMW N55 Engine Turbo, Valvetronic, and Direct Injection
>> 09 November 2009
You probably remember the ad wars between Audi and BMW for a few years! Either that or you probably came by this article open your laptop big brother. Anyway, the result was somewhat unsatisfactory, because Subaru spin on issues when they use their International Engine of the Year 2006 Award for the rub in the face of the Bavarian teasers. Needless to say, this caused a sleep disorder weight in beer usually quiet city of love Munich. Of course, all the sleepless nights spent in the various activities of the Lager-drinking, as BMW has won the next two years, largely due to a special motor, the N54 Bi-Turbo.
Be holders of 47 above price, BMW have exactly 24 more than second best in the 11-year history of the competition - Honda. Ironically, the latter described by some as "the Japanese BMW." They Germans are so far ahead, in fact, they already have the replacement for the N54 Bi-Turbo engine, which is an inline-6 from 3 0 liter engine makes 306 horsepower in its original form. So that's it: they change from one engine in principle three years old, who won the International Engine Awards respectively in '08 and '09 and is used successfully in most of their models? Was?
Well, it would be strange if the result was nothing less than the new N55 turbo engine, making the series debut of the BMW 5-Series GT (BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo), a 2010 model. This is an engine that has an inline-6 engine 3.0 liters, and is uuugh ... ... 306 hp in its original form.
Make no mistake, there is a new engine that breathes through a single turbo, just to name a big difference. The advantages over the previous engine is more efficient, faster and with throttle response and torque curve flatter. The maximum torque is already available from 1000 rpm earlier than before (currently at 1200 rpm)! This is a sneeze, but more idling! In real life, making it even easier and more fun driving a BMW N55 engine, they try to impress your lady with one of those unnecessary lights behind him or scaring a password Highway, as taut as clenched fists and his eyes closed when you do. All this comes with a lower CO2 emissions and fuel consumption, to cap it all, but we now see N54 engine models to accurately measure the differences. What we know at this moment that the N55 is expected to be approximately 9 l/100 km on average use in the GT-5, which is a car in 2-ton gasoline engine 300 hp car.
