Design, development and variant notes

The N62 is an aluminium twin-cam V8 with double-VANOS and Valvetronic. The N62B44 used the continuously variable DIVA intake; subsequent technical-update versions used a two-stage DISA intake.

The 4.8-litre version increased bore and stroke relative to the 4.4. Other update changes included engine management, emissions equipment, cylinder heads and exhaust components.
