BMW takes home 6 awards at the International Engine of the Year Award

BMW ran the table at the International Engine of the Year Competition finishing with 50% of the possible awards, including the coveted International Engine of the Year. The awards are presided over by a panel of 65 international motoring journalists from 32 countries across the whole world. They serve to recognize engineering excellence in many of the cars that we all love.

BMW's 3.0 L Twin Turbo engine found in the 135i, 335i and the X6 took home the top honor for the second time. This engine is universally recognized as one of the most powerful, yet efficient engines in the world.

Generating 300 HP and 300 lb/ft of torque, the N54 as it is affectionately known, has become the pinnacle in the world of performace.

BMW also won for Best New Engine with a 2.0 L Twin Turbo Diesel engine. Additional BMW winners include the 4.0 L V8 that powers the M3, the 5.0 L V10 that powers the M5 and the 1.6 L Turbo found in the Mini Cooper.
