Purpose Of The System
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2008 BMW 760Li, 2007 BMW 760Li, 2006 BMW 760i, 2006 BMW 760Li, and 2005 BMW 760i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The N73 engine is a complete new BMW development from the NG Series (New Generation) as a B60 (6 liter). The N73B60 will be used in the E66 as a 760Li (USA).
The BMW 760Li will set new standards in terms of performance and driving dynamics in the 12-cylinder market segment as well as significantly reduce fuel consumption.
For the first time at BMW, Valvetronic technology (combination of Bi-VANOS and variable intake valve lift) is supplemented by direct injection (DI).
In addition, the N73 cylinder heads use 4 valve technology.
The combination of these cutting edge technologies provides low fuel consumption and maximum power output and torque, making the N73 the best engine in its class.
