The N62 is a V8 from BMW, built in Munich, Germany. It has an Alusil aluminum engine block and aluminum DOHC cylinder heads.
It uses SFI fuel injection, has 4 valves per cylinder with BMW's double-VANOS and Valvetronic technologies and features fracture-split forged powdered metal connecting rods.
The N62 did not have a high-performance derivative, unlike the preceding M62 and succeeding N63. Instead, BMW produced the S85 V10 for the E60 M5 and E63 M6, and the S65 V8 for the E90 M3 being derived from the S85.
In the International Engine of the Year awards in 2002, the N62 won overall as well as claiming the "Best New Engine" and "Above 4-litre" categories.
