Engine S63 TOP: Notes

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 engine S63 TOP is used for the first time in the F10M. The engine S63 TOP is a new innovation based on the engine S63.

The SAP designation is S63B44T0.

The development goal was to increase the dynamic for the use in the new M5 and M6 simultaneously drop the fuel consumption. This was achieved through consequent dethrottling and the application of the Turbo-Valvetronic direct injection (TVDI) technology. These are already known in the engines N20 and N55 in use.

The graphic below shows the installation position of the engine S63 TOP in the F10M.
