Last crawled date: 1 year, 10 months ago

The BMW S85 is a naturally aspirated V10 petrol engine which was produced from 2005–2010. It was both BMW's first and only production V10 engine, and the first petrol V10 engine to be available in a production sedan. Introduced in the E60 M5, the S85 was inspired by BMW's previous Formula One involvement. Unlike most other BMW M engines, the S85 is not related to a regular production BMW engine. The S85 has dual overhead camshafts with four valves per cylinder and double-VANOS (variable valve timing). The engine block and cylinder head are constructed from aluminum alloy. Peak power is 373 kW (500 bhp) at 7,750 rpm and peak torque is 520 Nm (384 lbft) at 6,100 rpm. The redline is 8,250 rpm, and the specific output of 74.6 kW (100.0 bhp) per litre is amongst the highest of naturally aspirated production car engines. #bmw #v10 #engine #m5 #e60
