'''BMW M62''' is a [[naturally aspirated engine|naturally aspirated]] V8 petrol engine which was produced from 1995 to 2005.<ref>{{cite web|title=BMW 8-Zylinder Motor (M62)|url=https://bmw-grouparchiv.de/research/detail/index.xhtml?id=691945|website=bmw-grouparchiv.de|access-date=19 June 2017|archive-date=28 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180428094903/https://bmw-grouparchiv.de/research/detail/index.xhtml?id=691945|url-status=live}}</ref> A successor to the [[BMW M60]], the M62 features an aluminium engine block<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.usautoparts.net/bmw/engines/nikasil.htm |title=BMW World - Nikasil |website=www.usautoparts.net |url-status=dead |archive-date=12 August 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140812125532/http://www.usautoparts.net/bmw/engines/nikasil.htm }}</ref> and a single row timing chain.<ref name="usautoparts">{{cite web|title=BMW M62 engine |url=http://www.usautoparts.net/bmw/engines/m62.htm |website=www.usautoparts.net |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131102183443/http://www.usautoparts.net/bmw/engines/m62.htm |archive-date=2 November 2013 }}</ref>

In 1998, a technical update included VANOS ([[variable valve timing]]) for the intake camshafts.

A [[BMW M]] high performance version of the M62, called the '''S62''' engine, was fitted to BMW's [[BMW M5#E39|E39 M5]] and [[BMW Z8]], and both the [[Ascari KZ1]] and [[Ascari A10]].

== Design ==
Like the [[BMW M60]] engine it replaced, the M62 is a DOHC engine with [[Multi-valve#Four valve|four valves per cylinder]], an aluminum block and aluminum heads. The M62 has fracture-split forged connecting rods,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bmwpower.co.za/index.php/bmw-articles/106-bmw-m62-engine |title=BMW M62 Engine |website=www.bmwpower.co.za |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140305051500/http://www.bmwpower.co.za/index.php/bmw-articles/106-bmw-m62-engine |archive-date=2014-03-05 }}</ref> hypereutectic pistons with ferrous coated side skirts. Most of the M62 engines used [[Alusil]] for the block material,<ref>{{cite web|title=BMW M60 and M62 V8 Engines|url=http://www.unixnerd.demon.co.uk/m60.html|website=www.unixnerd.demon.co.uk|access-date=24 June 2017|archive-date=5 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305213015/http://www.unixnerd.demon.co.uk/m60.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> however some early M62 engines used [[Nikasil]] cylinder coating instead.<ref name="bmw-planet">{{cite web|url=http://www.bmw-planet.com/images/M62_Nikasil_1.jpg |title=Material changeover V8 crankcase M60, M62- p1|website=www.bmw-planet.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303222842/http://www.bmw-planet.com/images/M62_Nikasil_1.jpg |archive-date=2016-03-03 }}</ref><ref name="bmw-planet2">{{cite web|url=http://www.bmw-planet.com/images/M62_Nikasil_2.jpg |title=Material changeover V8 crankcase M60, M62- p2|website=www.bmw-planet.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303170759/http://www.bmw-planet.com/images/M62_Nikasil_2.jpg |archive-date=2016-03-03 }}</ref>

Alusil technology integrates silicon throughout the aluminum cast so that liners or treated bores within this block family are not needed.

The M62 uses a [[Motronic#5.2|Bosch Motronic 5.2]] engine control unit (also called "DME")<ref>{{cite web|title=BMW M60 M62 and M62TU Engine|url=http://www.meeknet.co.uk/e31/BMW_M60_M62_M62TU_Engine.htm|website=www.meeknet.co.uk|access-date=21 June 2017|archive-date=5 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170605234649/http://www.meeknet.co.uk/E31/BMW_M60_M62_M62TU_Engine.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> and a [[mass flow sensor#Hot wire sensor (MAF)|hot wire MAF]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rtsauto.com/e30-bmw-m62-v8-swap-3/ |title=E30 BMW M62/M60 V8 Swap |website=www.rtsauto.com |date=9 May 2010 |access-date=25 August 2012 |archive-date=3 September 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120903111825/http://www.rtsauto.com/e30-bmw-m62-v8-swap-3/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== Technical Update ===
In 1998, a "Technical Update" was applied to the M62, resulting in the M62TU variants. New features include [[VANOS#single|single-VANOS]] (variable valve timing for the intake camshaft) and [[electronic throttle control]]. The engine management was updated to Motronic ME7.2.<ref>{{cite book|title=M62TU Training Manual|publisher=BMW AG|page=15|url=http://www.meeknet.co.uk/E38/m62tu.pdf|access-date=21 June 2017|archive-date=8 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170808004629/http://www.meeknet.co.uk/E38/m62tu.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=BMW M62B44/M62TUB44 Engine|url=http://mywikimotors.com/m62b44/|website=www.mywikimotors.com|date=4 May 2015 |access-date=21 June 2017|archive-date=16 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170616040507/http://mywikimotors.com/m62b44/|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Alpina F3===
The Alpina F3 was developed by Alpina and based on the M62B44 engine. Released late in 1996 it used a modified M62B44 block supplied to Alpina from BMW featuring a bore of 93mm. It also featured a modified cylinder head, different intake camshafts, a crankshaft with increased stroke along with different pistons, a different air intake manifold and exhaust manifolds as well as custom engine programming.<ref name="Alpina">{{cite web |title=Alpina |url=https://www.alpina-archive.com/?page_id=9241 |access-date=15 November 2022 }}</ref>

Following with updates to the regular production M62B44 the F4 was a revised version of the Alpina F3 engine and featured variable valve timing on the intake camshafts, an electronically controlled throttle body and a slight increase in power. The Alpina F4 received a revision into the F4/1 in late 2000 which slightly increased [[fuel efficiency]] while decreasing its emissions output although power output remained the same.<ref name="Alpina"/>

===Alpina F5===
The F5 was Alpina's final iteration of the M62B44 engine, it featured all the same technology as the F4/1 but with an increased displacement due to an increased stroke thanks to a modified crankshaft. The increased stroke necessitated an oil pan with additional clearance as well as revised intake camshafts and exhaust camshafts from the M62B46 production engine.<ref>{{cite web |title=PARTS CATALOGUE Series E52 |url=http://www.klinika-bm.pl/alpina-pdf/katalogi/completecats/e52-alpina-roadster-V8.pdf |access-date=13 December 2019 |archive-date=13 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191213082030/http://www.klinika-bm.pl/alpina-pdf/katalogi/completecats/e52-alpina-roadster-V8.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=BMW 5 Series E39: ALPINA Automobiles |url=https://www.alpina-automobiles.com/en/product-world/model-history/bmw-5-series/bmw-5-series-e39/ |website=www.alpina-automobiles.com |access-date=13 December 2019 |archive-date=30 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190130052833/https://www.alpina-automobiles.com/en/product-world/model-history/bmw-5-series/bmw-5-series-e39/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=2003 Alpina B10 V8 S Switch-Tronic specifications & performance data review|url=http://www.automobile-catalog.com/car/2003/287825/alpina_b10_v8_s_switch-tronic.html|website=www.automobile-catalog.com|access-date=21 June 2017|archive-date=4 December 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241204082257/https://www.automobile-catalog.com/car/2003/287825/alpina_b10_v8_s_switch-tronic.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> It has a bore of {{convert|93|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} and a stroke of {{convert|89|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}.
