The eight-cylinder engines from BMW stand out thanks to their supreme performance and excellent driving qualities, not to mention their reduced fuel consumption and emissions values: just as consumption is fourteen percent lower, so performance is fourteen percent higher.

These high-tech engines are enhanced further by fully variable valve lift control (Valvetronic), variable camshaft control (double-Vanos), four-valve technology, map-controlled ignition, and highly efficient, variable engine cooling.

The result is silken-smooth refinement plus outstanding power reserves at all times. The fully-variable intake system (DIVA) and its innovative regulation mechanism ensure that the length of the intake manifold can be adjusted perfectly to suit power requirements even at low engine speeds.
