The water injection system from the BMW M4 GTS will feature in more car models from 2019, as its maker Bosch is now offering the technology to the wider automotive market.

The system works by spraying a fine vapour of distilled water into an engine’s intake before fuel combustion, reducing engine temperatures and therefore decreasing knocking, which wastes fuel. The results improve efficiency and increase engine power output as a result of faster ignition times.

Although the system was first introduced in BMW’s track-focused coupé and can offer a 5% boost in power, Bosch says its primary focus is to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions. It backs this claim up with promise of a boost in fuel efficiency by as much as 13% and reduction in CO2 emissions by 4%, according to the internationally recognised WLTP (Worldwide harmonised Light vehicles Test Procedures).
