Vacuum system

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The vacuum system of the engine S63 TOP has a few changes compared to engine S63.

The vacuum pump has a two-phase design so that the largest share of the generated vacuum is available to the brake servo.

The vacuum reservoir is now no longer placed in the V space but mounted to the bottom of the oil sump. The applicable vacuum lines were adjusted accordingly.

The graphic below shows the components of the vacuum system and their installation position.
