Design, development and variant notes

The M57 is a common-rail turbocharged diesel. Earlier and first-update engines used iron blocks; TU2 versions changed to aluminium and revised the combustion chamber.

The source gives 1,350 bar injection pressure for the original engine and 1,600 bar for later versions. Most use solenoid injectors, while specified TU2 high-output variants use piezo injectors.
