The BMW M106 (also called M30B34MAE) is a turbocharged straight-6 SOHC petrol engine which replaced the M102 engine and was produced from 1982-1986.
Design
Some of the M106's upgrades over the M102 are from the M30B34 version of the M30, which was also released in 1982. These upgrades include Bosch Motronic engine management and an increased displacement to 3,430 cc (209.3 cu in). Another upgrade over the M102 is that the compression ratio is also increased to from 7.0:1 to 8.0:1.[1][2]
Peak power output is the same 185 kW (248 hp) as the M102;[3] however, it occurs at lower RPM,[2] using 6 PSI of boost.[4]
