- Displacement:
- 4.4 liters (4,395 cc)
- Configuration:
- V8 engine with a 90-degree V-angle, providing a compact design that lowers the vehicle’s center of gravity and improves handling dynamics.
- Turbocharging:
- Equipped with two twin-scroll turbochargers, located within the “hot-vee” (inside the engine’s V), which reduces turbo lag and improves throttle response.
- Boost pressure for the M5 and M8 is generally around 1.5 bar (21.75 psi).
- Horsepower:
- 600 hp (447 kW) at 6,000 rpm in standard M5 and M8 models.
- 617 hp (460 kW) at 6,000 rpm in M5 Competition and M8 Competition variants.
- Torque:
- 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque available from 1,800 to 5,600 rpm, ensuring strong acceleration throughout the rev range.
- Redline:
- Maximum engine speed is 7,200 rpm.
- Fuel System:
- Direct Fuel Injection with High-Precision Injection technology to optimize fuel delivery for efficiency and power.
- Equipped with dual high-pressure fuel pumps for consistent fuel supply at high performance.
- Cooling System:
- Advanced cooling system includes dual water-cooled intercoolers, additional radiators, and engine oil cooling to maintain optimal operating temperatures under high-stress conditions.
- Electric water pump aids in cooling down the turbos after the engine is turned off, helping prevent turbo wear.
- Valvetrain:
- DOHC (Dual Overhead Camshafts) with variable valve timing (BMW’s VANOS system).
- Valvetronic variable valve lift system optimizes air intake, improving throttle response and fuel efficiency.
- Exhaust:
- Equipped with a sport-tuned exhaust system, featuring electronically controlled flaps for varied sound profiles, which can be adjusted via the M driving modes.
- Engine Management:
- BMW’s Digital Motor Electronics (DME) system manages engine performance with precision, allowing customizable driving modes (Comfort, Sport, Sport+).
- Compression Ratio:
- 10.0:1, providing a balance between power and efficiency.
- Lubrication:
- Dry-sump lubrication system, ensuring consistent oil flow even under extreme cornering forces, making the engine suitable for track use.
Transmission Specifications:
- Transmission Model:
- 8-speed ZF 8HP automatic transmission with Steptronic manual shift capability via paddle shifters on the steering wheel.
- All-Wheel Drive (xDrive):
- BMW’s M xDrive system with rear-biased torque distribution, allowing for selectable drive modes (4WD, 4WD Sport, and 2WD) for greater driver control and flexibility.
- The system can direct all power to the rear wheels in 2WD mode for a more traditional rear-wheel-drive experience.
- Transmission Features:
- Torque converter lock-up clutch for improved response.
- Launch Control: Optimized for rapid acceleration from a standstill.
- Drivetrain Control Modes: Customizable settings for throttle response, gear shift speed, and shift points, controllable via the M driving mode settings.
- Gear Ratios:
- Designed for a balance of performance and fuel efficiency with close ratios for the lower gears, ensuring quick acceleration, and taller gears for high-speed cruising.
- Shifting Modes:
- Fully Automatic Mode: For comfortable daily driving.
- Manual Mode: Using the paddle shifters or gear lever to manually select gears.
Performance:
- 0-60 mph:
- M5 (Standard): 3.2 seconds
- M5 Competition: 3.1 seconds
- M8 Coupe: 3.1 seconds
- M8 Competition: 3.0 seconds
- Top Speed:
- Electronically limited to 155 mph (250 km/h) in standard models.
- Increased to 189 mph (305 km/h) with the M Driver’s Package.
Mileage:
- 28,000 miles: Guaranteed low mileage, ensuring relatively minimal wear and tear, making it ideal for use in either replacement or performance upgrades.
Additional Features:
- Engine Weight:
- Approximately 617 lbs (280 kg), making the engine relatively light for its output, enhancing overall vehicle dynamics.
- Emissions and Fuel Efficiency:
- Compliant with Euro 6 and U.S. EPA standards.
- Combined fuel economy is approximately 20-22 mpg depending on the specific model and driving conditions.
- Transmission Cooling:
- Equipped with a transmission oil cooler, which maintains optimal temperature during high-stress driving situations.
Summary of Benefits:
- High Performance: The S63M engine is known for its balance of power and everyday usability, with explosive acceleration and smooth power delivery.
- Guaranteed 28K Miles: Low-mileage engine and transmission, ensuring longevity and reliability for future use.
- Track and Street Capabilities: The M8 and M5 equipped with this powertrain are capable on both the track and the street, with features like xDrive and adjustable driving modes.
