Abstract
The 3.0 l six-cylinder diesel engine, alongside the new 2.0 l four-cylinder diesel engine already launched in 2007, represents the second essential mainstay of the diesel engine program at the BMW Group. It is used in different power levels in the majority of BMW series of cars and thus makes a significant contribution toward meeting the future global demands regarding fuel consumption and emission figures. In order to take into account the series thinking with regard to uniformity of concept and components, the six-cylinder engine has been derived consistently from the four-cylinder version. This new engine was used for the first time in September 2008 as a 180 kW and 520 Nm version in the 330d and as the 540 Nm version in the 730d. Both models meet the EU5 emission limits, while the 330d is additionally offered as a EU6 model.
