BMW N74

Automotive Engines

The BMW N74 is a twin-turbo V12 petrol engine that replaced the N73 and has been produced since 2008, the first turbocharged V12 BMW built and also used in several Rolls-Royce models. Its two turbochargers sit on the outside of the engine and run at 11.6 psi of boost, and in base form it has a 10:1 compression ratio. Like the N73 it has direct injection, double overhead camshafts and double-VANOS, but it drops Valvetronic. It marked BMW first use of an eight-speed automatic transmission, the ZF 8HP90. The initial 5.97 litre N74B60 powered the F01, F02 and F03 760i and 760Li from 2009, the 6.6 litre N74B66 gives up to 465 kW and powers the Rolls-Royce Ghost, and a 2016 technical update brought it to the 7 Series.
