Bmw grabs “Engine of the year” prize

No surprise here....BMW leading the pack as usual. Congrats.

I predicted this as well, but got deboosted. Suckahs.

How did the greatest modern V8 not ever win this (RS4), not necessarily disagreeing with the selection, just wondering where the Audi V8 was...

it's an impressive engine...a nice wide flat torque band. sounds great too...difficult not to drive it hard. ; )

Wait a minute I thought the 335i's engine was considered low tech because it makes use of turbochargers.

"Toyotaman" get over yourself...What do you call you're reasoning that any list without an engine from Lexus must be biased?

There is nothing groundbreaking about the LS600h's engine, it's just another hybrid with more power, Lexus has already done this with the V8 Hybrid in the GS, the engine technology there is the same as you can find in a Prius. Not saying by any means it’s a poor engine, but that it’s been done before by Toyota/Lexus & therefore isn’t a breakthrough.

They won't put anything less than a V8 in the six series.

Who awarded the award to that low-tech engine? Is that a joke? ^0^

This award's has to be run by BMW's marketing division, because they won it so many times.

toyota hybrid synergy drive engine won this same award in 2004.
that must have been TOTALLY BIASED too. i'm sure it didn't deserve to win either.

you guys are a joke.

good job BMW, keep up the work on new engines.

As much as I love BMW's in-line 6 engine because of it is inherently in near-perfect balance, I hope that Audi wins the next award for its awesome 500hp V12 TDI.

This is an engine-specific award. You really gotta toss the LS and IS names aside when you're determining the greatness of an engine. The 4.6L V8 is really not that great of an engine when you look at the numbers. Yes it produces 380hp but that gives it only a 83 hp/L ratio...not the 100 hp/L you get out of the BMW V10, Audi V8 or Porsche V8.

Everyone knows toyota makes great engines, and they win awards up the waz for those engines. BMW won this one for a killer engine using some killer technology, don't get all but hurt about it.

AGAIN...

toyota hybrid synergy drive engine won this same award in 2004. so was that TOTALLY BIASED and a joke too?

BMW makes phenomenal engines. deal.

Keep whining you Toyota fanboys.

Toyotaman,

You will see your LS600h engine is ranked third.

They didn't omitted it. It's just not as great an engine.

NO suprise here!!!

also NO lexus or audi here!!!
thanks 2 all da lozers

I'm a bit surprised. I thought Audi's 2.0L turbo would snag the award. But, if there is any engine in the world worthy of this award it's the 3.0L inline twin-turbo out of Munich. Good job BMW!

BMW does it again! Last year it was the impressive V10, this year its the impressive I6. I wanted the V10 to win again, but o well..... 2 years in a row is enough. I cant wait for next year when the BMW V8 in the M3 competes.... time for another win!

I despise BMW fanboys like you.
