The BMW N62 was a naturally aspirated V8 petrol engine used in BMW cars from 2001 to 2010, and it stayed in small-scale production for the Morgan Aero until 2019. It was the first engine in the world with a continuously variable-length intake manifold, and it was the second BMW engine with Valvetronic variable valve lift after the N42. It was a clean-sheet design, not a development of the M60 line that became the M62, and the 4.4 litre version has a 92 millimetre bore, an 82.7 millimetre stroke and double-VANOS on both camshafts. Valvetronic lets the intake valves themselves modulate the throttle, with the throttle body kept for emergencies. The N62 won International Engine of the Year, Best New Engine and Above 4-litre in 2002, and it powered the E65 7 Series, the E60 5 Series and the E70 X5.
