Abstract
The BMW X5 4.6is is the new top version of the successful X5 Series. It combines the off-road capabilities of the X5 4.4i with the characteristics of a very sporty on-road vehicle. In this article, the most important features of the new 4.6 litre engine are described. This engine was developed on the basis of the tried-and-tested V8 engine fitted in the X5 4.4i.
