BMW’s 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine won the top prize in the 2008 International Engine of the Year competition on Wednesday. The engine beat even the mighty Porsche turbocharged 3.6-liter engine that powers the 911 Turbo.
This has been the second consecutive year that a BMW engine took home top honors. The judges said that the BMW unit was “one of seven engines to triumph in the 2008 awards that use turbocharging to achieve high power output from smaller-displacement engines that use less fuel and produce less CO2.”
Though not exactly well known by the public, the awards are judged by 65 automotive journalists from 32 countries. This is like the Oscars for engines and engineering prowess. The manufactures take it quite seriously and BMW is always a top contender.
