Course contents/Background material
Introduction
BMW is successively developing a new family of diesel engines with direct injection (DI) that will include 4-cylinder,
6-cylinder and 8-cylinder engines.
Following the successful introduction of the M47D20
4-cylinder engine, a new 6-cylinder engine will soon be phased into series production.
This engine features all the design characteristics of the second generation of direct injection diesel engines and represents the currently most advanced diesel technology available in passen vehicles. ger
Thanks to its outstanding performance and high comfort properties in conjunction with excellent exhaust quality and integral fuel economy, this engine enjoys a leading position in the competitive environment. spec. output

Fig. 1: Competitive situation M47/M57
Initially, the new M57 engine will be installed in the form of a topof-the-range diesel engine in the 5 and 7 Series. The M67 will enhance the top end of the diesel engine range in the 7 Series.
Parallel to this, the well-proven indirect injection engines (IDI) will still remain in the product range.

Objectives
The layout and design particularly of the six-cylinder engine is based on the following primary objectives:
• The creation of a top-of-the-range diesel engine for all BMW model series
• Maintaining the leading competitive position with regard to output power and torque development as well as comfort in the entire diesel vehicle segment
• Securing marketability by the use of future-oriented technical concepts incorporating further development capabilities

DI Diesel Engines M57/M67 - Common Rail Sec. 1 P.3
Course contents/Background material
Concepts
The concept features of the new engines correspond to those of second generation DI diesel engines.
The advantages in fuel consumption offered by the first seriesproduced DI diesel engines were offset by a series of disadvantages regarding acoustic comfort, performance, emission, pas senger compartment heating and costs compared to modern
IDI diesel engines.
In contrast to this, with second generation DI diesel engines it has been possible to improve all customer-relevant features, the exception of costs, by incorporating new or further with developed technical concepts.

Pistons with rings and pins
The piston forms the moving bottom wall of the combustion chamber. Its specially designed shape contributes to ensuring optimum combustion. The piston rings seal off the gap to the cylinder wall so as to ensure high compression and as little gas possible enters the crankcase.
The following features apply both to the M57 and M67:
• Cooling duct piston with rotationally symmetrical piston crown bowl specific to DI common rail
• The lobe in the piston crown bowl is higher than on the M47 as
Fig. 23: Sectional view of combustion chamber
M67-specific features
• The pistons of cylinder bank 1 (1 - 4) and cylinder bank 2
(5 - 8) differ as the valve arrangement is not symmetrical
(different valve pockets on piston); the pistons are identified accordingly

Engine mounts
Brief description
The engine mount principle used on the M57 and M67 engines basically the same as from the M51TÜ. The damping charac teristics of the hydraulic mount are set softer or harder by means of a vacuum. In this way, the vibration transmitted from the engine to the body can be influenced specifically. is

Hydraulic mount
The damping-controlled hydraulic mount consists of:
• One conventional hydraulic mount
• One control unit
The hydraulic mount with controlled damping characteristics operates by way of vacuum.
In the basic setting, no vacuum is applied to the hydraulic mount. Bypass (14) is closed. This is achieved by means of spring (10) pressing a rubber diaphragm against the sealing surface of the nozzle plate.
The hydraulic fluid can only flow back and forth via an annular duct (5) between the upper (17) and lower (15) chamber. The mount acts as a conventional hydraulic mount. The damping characteristics are hard.

KT-173
DI Diesel Engines M57/M67 - Common Rail Sec. 4 P.4
Course contents/Background material
The force exerted by the spring is reduced by applying vacuum to the control unit of the mount (12) so that a bypass now opens permanently. The hydraulic fluid can now flow back and forth via larger cross section between the two chambers. The damping characteristics of the mount are now softer. a
The damping-controlled engine mount is designed to suit specific types of engine:
M57:
Pin/pin mount
The left and right mounts differ due to the asymmetrical arrangement of the engine mounts.
(Spring rate: left 180 N/mm / right 220 N/mm)
M67:
Pin/flange mount
The left and right mounts are inversely symmetrical due to the symmetrical arrangement of the engine mounts. (Spring rate: 350 N/mm)
The left mount features a stop bowl in order to restrict engine movement when taking up torque.

Functional description
The vacuum necessary to activate the mounts is taken from a distributor in the vacuum line between the vacuum pump and brake booster.
Vacuum is applied simultaneously to both mounts when idling and in the speed range close to idling. As a result, it is possible to change over between hard or soft damping characteristics.

Oil filter with integrated oil-to-water heat exchanger
The oil-to-water heat exchanger is connected to both the oil circuit as well as the water circuit of the engine. This arrange ensures the engine oil is heated faster by the coolant when ment the engine is cold and is effectively cooled by the coolant when the engine is at operating temperature.
Shortening the warm-up phase greatly contributes to reducing fuel consumption.
