The BMW M57 was a turbocharged straight-six common-rail diesel engine built from 1998 up to 2013 at BMW engine plant in Steyr in Upper Austria. It was based on its predecessor, the M51, and was revised twice during its life. The block of the first engines and of the TU revision was cast iron, while the TU2 engines moved to an aluminium block with a changed combustion chamber. Injection pressure was 1,350 bar in the first version and 1,600 bar afterwards, with Bosch controlling the common-rail system, and every cylinder had two inlet and two exhaust valves with two chain-driven camshafts. All models had a turbocharger and intercooler, and the 2.5 and 3.0 litre versions powered the E39 and E60 5 Series, the E38 7 Series, the E46 3 Series and the E53 X5, as well as cars from Opel and Land Rover.
