How much power and torque does the BMW S38B36 have?

From the factory the BMW S38B36 makes 232 kW (315 HP) and 360 Nm of torque. It is a 3.6 liter (3,535 cc) inline 6, DOHC, 24 valve petrol engine with no turbo (naturally aspirated).

Without a turbo, the power builds smoothly with the revs. A clean air intake, healthy ignition and the correct fuel 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.
