BMW B48 Engine For Sale

It is a 2-liter 4- cylinder engine that, at least initially, simply runs alongside the equivalent N20 unit, and then gradually replaces it. The B48 engine becomes part of a larger family of new modular engines, which also includes 3 and 6-cylinder units, both petrol and diesel, all united by the fact that they have a large number of components in common, so to reduce production costs. For example, just to mention the most remarkable aspect, both the B48 engine and the other engines have the same unit displacement, equal to 498.8 cm³. The only exception is the cheaper variant of the three-cylinder petrol engine, with 1.2 liters of displacement. It is also interesting that the engine B48 is adaptable to any schema supercharging by the turbocharger. And so, a normal, twin-scroll, twin- turbo or tri-turbo turbocharger can be mounted on this engine without major adjustments. The turbocharger can also be of the fixed or variable geometry type.
