These innovations have allowed the V12 to significantly reduce fuel consumption, to the point of being even cheaper than some BMW V8s born a few years earlier, but without direct injection and variable valve timing.
Thanks to its 89x80 mm bore and stroke measurements, this engine has a displacement of 5972 cm³ and delivers a maximum power of 445 HP at 6000 rpm, with a maximum torque of 600 Nm at 3950 rpm.
This engine was only fitted to the BMW 760i and 760Li E65 / 66 produced from 2003 to 2008.
Another unit with a displacement of 6749 cc was derived from the N73B60 unit, capable of delivering 460 hp of maximum power at 5350 rpm, with a peak torque of 720 N · m at 3500 rpm. However, this engine was not mounted on any BMW, but on the Rolls-Royce Phantom produced from 2003 onwards and on the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé (from 2007 ) and Phantom Coupé (from 2008 ). The house of the spirit of ecstasy passed under the control of BMW as early as 1998.
