Wards recently presented their 10 Best Engines awards and BMW was among the list of this year’s recipients. The brand was awarded for the 3.0-Liter Inline Six-Cylinder Engine that provides power to the BMW M240i using the M Performance TwinPower Technology. The award-winning engine generates 335 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque and can go from 0-60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. The award was accepted by Vice President of Engineering, BMW of North America Roberto Rossetti who made a speech regarding the many BMW accomplishments of that year.
“Last year BMW turned 100 years and during that time our company has become famous for its iconic 6-cylinder inline engines. Today BMW continues to receive accolades in front of the most respected engineers in powertrain and technology in the industry. The inline-6 will continue to be part of BMW legacy,” said Roberto Rossetti in his speech. “Our latest addition to this family is the B58 featuring BMW M Performance TwinPower Turbo Technology, Valvetronic, Double VANOS and Direct Injection and BMW is making history once again here at Wards 10 Best Engine celebration,” added Rossetti. “It was an incredible feat for the development team on this new set of modular engines to have up to 30-40 percent of its components shared with the 6-cylinder diesel engine and up to 60% with the 3- and 4-cylinder gasoline modular engines. One of the goals was to increase horsepower and torque while at the same time increase the efficiency on all variants. All in all, the B58 is a smoother, higher performing more efficient engine that ensures BMW delivers the true and typical driving dynamics to our customers of the Ultimate Driving Machine” concluded Rossetti.
