Design, development and variant notes
The P48 is a 2.0-litre turbocharged racing engine developed for Class 1 DTM regulations. The source describes it as a purpose-built race engine with some block design shared with the B48.
It replaced BMW's naturally aspirated P66/1 DTM V8 and raced in the M4 Turbo DTM. Its race specifications should not be assumed to describe a B48 road engine.
