The engine is often forgotten about by most people. It’s a huge, spinning, exploding piece of metal and oil. The engine is only a problem when it fails to work. Most auto owners believe that it is best to keep your eyes and ears open. Not every engine is mass-produced. High-powered performance engines may sometimes get special treatment like the biturbocharged, 4.4-liter V8 for .
The video and photos offer a glimpse at the process of building the mill. They show how each stage is built. Although the video is a bit short, it is still quite impressive. In today’s world of mass production, hand-crafted engines are very rare. BMW’s engine is delicate and powerful, but it gives the car a luxurious feel. Building the hearts by hand is a good idea if the BMW M850i coupe is the height of BMW performance.
The engine’s build process allows for more than just human knowledge. The factories where engines are made use technology to collect data. This includes data about tightening bolts and measuring valve clearances. This data is used to monitor the build process and ensure that the right tools are being used at work stations. To further automate tracking of the build process, main components like bearing shells or cylinder heads are assigned individual tracking codes. This allows for data collection from the time the factory receives them until they are installed.
BMW M850i’s biturbo-4.4-liter V8 produces 523 horsepower, 553 pound-feet torque and 553 lb-ft. Although it doesn’t reach supercar performance levels, it is sufficient for daily driving. It is important to give your engine extra care during construction.
BMW’s Munich plant is where the M850i engine is made. It also houses other 6- or 8-cylinder BMW M engines. It is also home to the V12 engine that powers the BMW M760LixDrive, and Rolls-Royce model.
