BMW M50 Engine For Sale

This engine family was born to replace the now dated M20 family, which by now was inadequate to the new models, due to poor performance in relation to the increased mass of the models themselves. The M20 family was however the starting point for creating this new family, whose salient features were:

6- cylinder in-line architecture ;
electronic injection power supply ;
DOHC type distribution with 4 valves per cylinder;
displacements between 2 and 2.5 liters.

The M50 family was divided into five versions, up to 1995, and was then replaced by the M52 family. The S50 engines are also derived from this family, with displacements between 3 and 3.2 liters.
