BMW
330i M Pack
Developing maximum output of 190 kW/258 bhp,
the six-cylinder in the top-of-the-range
model outperforms its predecessor by a
significant 20 kW/27 bhp. Maximum torque of
300 Nm (221 lb-ft) comes consistently between
2,500 and 4,000 rpm. This is the most
powerful and lightest six-cylinder in its
segment.
To reduce the weight of the engine to an
absolute minimum, BMW is using magnesium,
with weight down by 30 per cent versus
aluminium. Both the crankcase as well as the
crankshaft bearings and the cylinder head
cover are all made of this sophisticated
ultra-light material.
Another new feature in the six-cylinder is
VALVETRONIC masterminding the opening times
and lift of the intake valves infinitely as a
function of the gas pedal position. Oh, and
it's a great machine to
photography...
