The BMW B38 is a turbocharged straight-three double overhead camshaft petrol engine of 1.2 and 1.5 litres, 1,198 and 1,499 cc, that replaced the straight-four N13 and has been in production since 2013. It is part of the modular BMW family of straight-three B38, straight-four B48 and straight-six B58 aluminium block and head petrol engines, using 400 cc per cylinder in the 1.2 and 500 cc in the 1.5, and it shares many components with the diesel B37. It has direct injection, an 11:1 compression ratio, double-VANOS and a single-scroll turbocharger with the first aluminium turbine housing in the world, made by Continental. The first car to use it was the BMW i8 hybrid sports coupe, where it sits transversely behind the seats, and it also powers front-wheel-drive Mini Hatch and BMW 2 Series Active Tourer models as well as rear-wheel-drive and xDrive BMWs.
