Cylinder Heads

Cylinder Heads




The two N62 cylinder heads are a new development from BMW. They are fitted with the Valvetronic system. The secondary air ducts for subsequent exhaust gas treatment are integrated in the cylinder heads. The cylinder heads are cooled by the "cross-flow" principle.

The inlet camshaft and the Valvetronic eccentric shaft are jointly guided by a bridge support. The cylinder heads are made from aluminum and are manufactured using gravity diecasting. The upper timing chain housing is now an integral part of the cylinder head.
