Design, development and variant notes
The N63 places its exhaust manifolds and turbochargers inside the V of the engine and its intake manifolds outside. Early versions did not have Valvetronic; the S63 is the M performance derivative.
The 2012 N63 technical update added Valvetronic and revised fuel, cooling and internal components. Later updates changed turbocharger and thermal-management details. Wikipedia also reports recalls and mechanical issues; check the specific vehicle and campaign.

Additional technical and variant notes
S63B44T0 added Valvetronic, and the source gives 10.0:1 compression, 1.5 bar boost and a 7,200 rpm limit for that technical-update version. Do not apply these figures to all N63 or S63 revisions.
