N73B60 Engine
Purpose of the System
The N73 engine is a complete new BMW development from the NG Series (New
Generation) as a B60 (6 liter). The N73B60 will be used in the E66 as a 760Li (USA).
The BMW 760Li will set new standards in terms of performance and driving dynamics in
the 12-cylinder market segment as well as significantly reduce fuel consumption.
For the first time at BMW, Valvetronic technology (combination of Bi-VANOS and variable
intake valve lift) is supplemented by direct injection (DI).
In addition, the N73 cylinder heads use 4 valve technology.
The combination of these cutting edge technologies provides low fuel consumption and
maximum power output and torque, making the N73 the best engine in its class.
