How much power and torque does the BMW B46B20 have?

From the factory the BMW B46B20 makes 170 kW (231 HP) and 350 Nm of torque. It is a 2.0 liter (1,998 cc) inline 4, DOHC, 16 valve petrol engine with a twin-scroll turbocharger.

Because it is turbocharged, the torque comes in low in the rev range, which makes the car feel strong in everyday driving. A healthy turbo, a clean intercooler and tight boost pipes are key to getting the full figure.

A used engine reaches its factory numbers when it is fitted with the matching engine computer and software, and serviced with the right oil and filters. If the engine computer from your car is a different version, a specialist may need to code it.

Every B46B20 on our site lists its year and mileage. You can ask for extra photos, a close-up of the code stamp or a short video before you order.
