München. Seit knapp zwei Jahren ist er auf dem Markt, jetzt treiben seine 507 PS Leistung weltweit bereits 20.000 BMW M5 und M6 zu überragenden Fahrleistungen an. Vor wenigen Tagen wurde im BMW Werk München am so genannten Sondermotoren-Band das 20.000ste Exemplar jenes High-Performance-Motors produziert. Seit dem Start der Serienproduktion in 2005 wurde dieses V10-Aggregat zudem mit bereits sieben Preisen des weltweit renommierten "Engine-of-the-Year-Award" ausgezeichnet.
Tatsächlich kann dieses Triebwerk mit herausragenden Eigenschaften und Werten glänzen: Schließlich stand für diese faszinierende Maschine der Zehnzylinder-Formel-1-Motor von BMW Pate, der bis zum Reglementswechsel 2006 als stärkstes Aggregat in der Königsklasse des Motorsports galt.

Mit diesem Rennsportmotor hat der V10 aus BMW M5 und M6 aber nicht nur die Zylinderzahl, sondern auch das Hochdrehzahlkonzept gemeinsam. Dieses Prinzip, das nur wenige Automobil-Hersteller beherrschen, generiert enorme Schubkraft aus hohen Drehzahlen und ist charakteristisch für alle Hochleistungs-Saugmotoren der BMW M GmbH.

Die Daten dieses außergewöhnlichen Motors: zehn Zylinder, fünf Liter Hubraum, 373 Kilowatt oder 507 PS Leistung, ein maximales Drehmoment von 520 Newtonmetern und eine maximale Drehzahl von 8250/min. Was bereits auf dem Papier beeindruckt, sorgt erst recht in der Fahrpraxis für Begeisterung - in deutlich unter fünf Sekunden beschleunigt dieses Triebwerk die verschiedenen BMW M Modelle M5, M6 und M6 Cabrio auf Tempo 100.

Für BMW M ist das Hochdrehzahlkonzept - mehr Leistung durch höhere Drehzahlen - schon traditionell die bevorzugte Strategie. Dabei stößt der V10-Motor in eine Drehzahlregion vor, die wegen der enormen Materialbelastung zuvor für Serienmotoren als unerreichbar galt.

Immerhin legt bei 8.000 Kurbelwellenumdrehungen in der Minute jeder der zehn Kolben etwa 20 Meter Weg in der Sekunde zurück - fast so viel wie die Kolben eines Formel-1-Motors. Doch während im Motorsport dauerhafte Belastbarkeit eine relative Größe ist, hält ein M Motor ein ganzes Autoleben lang - bei jedem Klima, in jeder Verkehrssituation und bei jeder Fahrweise.

Zu den technischen Besonderheiten dieses Motors, der ein beeindruckendes Jubiläum feiert, gehören unter anderem eine verwindungssteife Bedplate-Konstruktion, gewichtsoptimierte Kastenkolben, einteilige Zylinderköpfe aus Aluminium sowie das so genannte Querstromkühlungskonzept, das eine gleichmäßige Temperaturverteilung im Zylinderkopf garantiert. Zudem besitzt dieser V10-M Motor die variable Nockenwellensteuerung Doppel-VANOS, Einzeldrosselklappen wie im Rennsport sowie ein System, das wie ein Trockensumpf die permanente Ölversorgung im Motor selbst bei hohen Querbeschleunigungswerten unter allen Umständen sicherstellt.

Letztlich, darin ist BMW M führend, wurde für den V10-Hochleistungsmotor von den Ingenieuren dieser Gesellschaft auch die Motorsteuerung selbst entwickelt, deren moderne 32-Bit-Prozessoren mehr als 200 Millionen Einzeloperationen pro Sekunde verarbeiten können. Zylinderindividuell und für jeden Arbeitstakt errechnen sie Zündzeitpunkt, Füllung, Einspritzmenge und -zeitpunkt.

Ok, I get it. Let me do all the bowing




Talk about popular cars, M is a success

Well MB have sold quite a few AMG5.5 engines.

Well MB have sold quite a few AMG5.5 engines.

and for how many models? Better question, how many E55 vs M5? BTW BMW will continue producing more V10, M5 will exist a few more years. 20.000 is in 2 years and M5 will exist another three years.

BTw Luw give some creds to BMW , Im not asking for to much now.

I'm sure the number of E55s and SL55 sold are equal to the number of M5s and M6s sold the latest 1-2 years.
Either way these high numbers are expected of a premium manufacturer like BMW which have been around for looooooong while.

As far as I know, CLS55, E55, CL55, SL55, S55 thats 5 models, BMW has 2 models with the V10.
Sales for M vs AMG cant be compared properly.
55 engine has existed for many years now in several models, the V10 has existed for 2 years and already 20.000 engines for only two models. And more engines will be built because neither M5 or M6 are being replaced for another 3 years.

M and AMG cars can in this case be compared. M5 vs E55 and M6 vs SL55. If i could I would bring you the figures for the E55 and SL55 for thr first 2 years after the cars were launched. Cars tend to sell quite the first years after launch.

I also want to know how many M5 E39 were built between 1998-2003

but okej, Luw, you arent impressed and you rather be talking about AMG than M. Is it your love for Mercedes talking now

 

[RikfromBelgium]

20.000 is crazy. Of the previous M5, 20.500 were sold in total. I know this 20.000 is also from the M6, but still, that's insane.
As for AMG, remember Topgear, 25.000 AMG 5.5 engine's are build every year. That's all the engine's for all the cars.

 

[Zafiro]

20.000 is crazy. Of the previous M5, 20.500 were sold in total.

So in 6 years 20.500 M5 E39 were sold. Before M5 has existed 6 years its going to beat M5 E39 in sales.

Come on. It is not like I hate BMW, I'm an in closet BMW fan ffs. The figures are pretty darn high but then again not that suprising, especially for a car like the M5 which is automotive royalty.

you hate BMW, you want to trash every bmw you see on the streets

BMW is obviously proud of the sales and therefore we see a pressrelese.

 

[PanterroR]

Shows only how good they are and that the demand is bigger and bigger!

In english:

BMW M has built 20,000 of its V10 engine

It has been on the market for just two years and its output of 507 bhp already ensures outstanding performance figures for 20,000 BMW M5 and M6. A few days ago, the 20,000th specimen of the high-performance engine was produced on the so-called Special Engine Line at the BMW plant in Munich. Since the start of serial production in 2005, the V10 has won the internationally renowned “Engine of the Year” award a total of seven times.

The engine boasts extraordinary qualities and specifications: after all, it was based on the 10-cylinder BMW Formula 1 engine which was the most powerful engine in the top discipline of motor racing until the rules were changed in 2006.

But the V10 of the BMW M5 and M6 not only has the same number of cylinders as the racing engine, it also shares the same high-speed concept. This principle, only mastered by a few automobile manufacturers, generates enormous thrust from high engine speeds and is characteristic of all high-performance naturally aspirated engines made by BMW M GmbH.

The technical specifications of this extraordinary engine: ten cylinders, a capacity of five litres, an output of 373 kilowatts or 507 bhp, a maximum torque of 520 Newton-metres and a maximum engine speed of 8250 rpm. Impressive on paper, these figures really come alive in practice: the engine accelerates the various BMW M models M5, M6 and M6 Convertible to 100 km/h in under 5 seconds.

For BMW M, the high-speed concept - more power from higher engine speeds - has traditionally been the preferred strategy. However, the V10 engine moves into an engine speed range which was previously regarded as out of the reach of serial production engines due to the enormous stress to the materials.

At 8,000 crankshaft rotations per minute, each of the ten pistons travels around 20 metres per second - almost as much as the pistons in a Formula 1 engine. But while long-term resilience is a relative factor in motor racing, an M engine has to last for the whole lifetime of the automobile - in every climate, in every road situation and with all driving styles.

The technical highlights of this engine, now celebrating an impressive landmark in its production lifetime, include a torsionally stiff bedplate construction, weight-optimised full slipper pistons, single-section cylinder heads made of aluminium and the so-called cross-flow cooling concept which ensures an even temperature throughout the cylinder head. This V10 M engine also has the variable camshaft control system double VANOS, port throttles as in motor racing and a system which - like a dry sump - always ensures a permanent oil supply to the engine even at high levels of transverse acceleration.

Finally, the engine management system for the V10 high-performance engine was developed by BMW M’s own engineers - an area in which BMW M occupies a leading position. The system’s modern 32-bit processors can process over 200 million individual operations per second: for each separate cylinder and firing cycle they calculate ignition timing, charge, injection quantity and timing.

 

[Mr. M]

At 8,000 crankshaft rotations per minute, each of the ten pistons travels around 20 metres per second - almost as much as the pistons in a Formula 1 engine.

Try imagining how fast the pistons pump.

One year ago I was the nr1 BMW basher but now I'm a changed man and like BMW more then ever. But I still have some tiny bmw hatered deep down in my DNA, though I do give credit when credit is due.

 

[PanterroR]

Liar! j/k...

 

[LaArtist]

congrats to bmw..the engine is extremely superb.. i wish i get to experience it sometime

 

[dOmInIX]

Yea, congrats to BMW! That engine is awesome, and reliable..
