How much power and torque does the BMW S85B50 have?
From the factory the BMW S85B50 makes 373 kW (507 HP) and 520 Nm of torque. It is a 5.0 liter (4,999 cc) v10, DOHC, 40 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.
Every S85B50 on our site lists its year and mileage. If you want more photos or a short video of a unit, ask the desk and we send them before you pay.
