Specifically they are the following:• N52B30O1 Engine• N62B48O1 Engine• Cooling system• Exhaust system• Fuel supply systemN52B30O1 EngineThe familiar 6-cylinder in-line engine N52B30O1 is the entry-level engine for the E70.The N52 was introduced for the first time in 2005 in the E90. At that time, the engineset new standards with its magnesium crankcase and VALVETRONIC II system.5E70 Gasoline EnginesGasoline Engines for E70 The engine underwent minor modifications in September 2006 and is now designatedN52K. With the introduction of the N52K, modifications were made in following areas:• Cylinder head cover• Camshafts• Crankshaft• Stem diameter of exhaust valves increased to 6 mm instead of 5 mm• Torsional vibration damper• Crankcase ventilation• Hot-film air mass meter (HFM)• Throttle valve• Digital motor electronicsThe following systems have been adapted on the N52K engine for the E70: • Intake system• Belt drive• Oil panTechnical Data Comparison6E70 Gasoline EnginesSpecification M54B30 (E53) N52B30O1 (E70)Engine typeinline 6 inline 6Displacement (cm3)2979 2996Stroke/bore (mm)89.6/84 88.0/85Power output (kW/bhp)at engine speed (rpm)170/2315900163/2606600Torque (Nm)at engine speed (rpm)30035003052500Compression ratio10.2 10.7Valves/cylinder4 4Fuel type (RON)98 98Firing order1-5-3-6-2-4 1-5-3-6-2-4Engine management (DME)MS43 MSV80Emission standardLEV ULEV II N62B48O1 EngineThe high-end motorization at the launch of the E70 is the N62B48O1 engine.

The engine hasbeen adapted for use in the E70. The changes and modifications to the N52K comparedto the N52 and the components specific to the E70 are described in the following.Cylinder Head CoverThe cylinder head cover on the N52K is made from plastic therefore steel bolts are usedfor the threaded connections. The ground connection of the ignition coils is made bymeans of two stud bolts that are connected to the cylinder head.The crankcase ventilation is now integrated in the cylinder head cover together with theoil separator.Oil PanThe geometry of the cast aluminum oil pan has been correspondingly adapted to suit thespace conditions in the E70.CrankshaftThe crankshaft has a higher degree of balance (92 % instead of 83 %) in order to reducethe load on the engine-gearbox system.Torsional Vibration DamperThe design layout of the torsional vibration damper is adapted to the crankshaft. In viewof the higher degree of crankshaft compensation, the first order vibrations are shifted intoa higher frequency range. The frequency range in which the torsional vibration damper iseffective has been correspondingly adapted.The torsional vibration damper is designed as a composite damper. This means the rubber layer that connects the masses is not vulcanized but rather takes the form of arubber band.New bolts are used for mounting the torsional vibration damper. The tightening instruc-tions have been changed accordingly. Mixing up the bolts can result in damage to thebelt drive. Belt DriveThe basic belt drive has been adopted from the N52B30O1 engine in the E92. This beltdrive is a single belt system and consists of a ribbed V-belt with six V-ribs. Due to thehigher load, the belt drive is designed as a double belt system if the E70 is equipped withat least one of the following options:• Active steering system• Adaptive drive• 220 A generator10E70 Gasoline Engines [...]... . . . . . . . . . . . .23 Fuel Supply S ystem . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .24 E70 Gasoline Engines R e vision Dat e: MSV80 Overview 14 E70 Gasoline Engines 9 E70 Gasoline Engines NOTES PAGE 27 E70 Gasoline Engines NOTES PAGE ... engine N52B30O1 is the entry-level engine for the E70.
