V10 Bmw Coupe

Explore the iconic BMW S85 V10 engine - learn about its performance, the models it was used in, and more! This piece explores the BMW M6 E63, a V10. The BMW S85B50 is a naturally aspirated V10 petrol engine which replaced the BMW S62 V8 engine in the M5 model and was produced from 2005-2010.

It was both BMW's first and only production V10 engine, and the first petrol V10 engine to be available in a production wagon (estate). However, there's only one production V10 engine in BMW's catalogue - the S85. Produced from 2005 to 2010, this 5.0L naturally aspirated ten-cylinder engine powered the E60/E61 BMW M5 sedan and wagon along with the E63/E64 BMW M6 coupe and convertible.

Technical Specs and Performance Credentials Let's examine some key technical details of BMW's S85 V10. When it comes to automotive engineering marvels, BMW's V10 engines hold a special place in the hearts of car enthusiasts and performance junkies alike. These powerplants aren't just about raw horsepower; they symbolize a peak in BMW's engineering prowess, blending high-revving capabilities with sophisticated design.

So, if you're wondering, "Which BMW has the V10?" - you're. The BMW M6, while not a looker, had a design that fit the V10 a bit more. Its outlandish coupe and convertible design made the M6 a bit more exciting than the M5.

At that engine speed, BMW's free-breathing V10 made some of the most incredible noises to ever come from a production car. To be honest, the engine wasn't the most reliable of engines. The second generation of the BMW's Grand Tourer M6 was launched in 2012.

Unlike its predecessor that offered a screaming naturally aspirated V10 engine, the 2012 version featured a twin. Blending a tasteful yet aggressive design with extraordinary performance, the M6 is a sexy beast indeed. This 2008 BMW M6 coupe is powered by a 5.9-liter stroker V10 linked with a seven-speed SMG transmission and a Dinan rear differential, and it is finished in Alpine White over black leather.
