The BMW S65 is a naturally aspirated V8 petrol engine which was produced from 2007 to 2013. Its main use was in the BMW M3 (where it replaced the BMW S54 straight-six engine). There is no direct replacement for the S65, since the following generation of M3 switched to a turbocharged straight-six engine (the BMW S55).

Derived from the BMW S85 V10 engine (as used in the E60 M5), the S65 shares the same basic architecture and aluminium construction. Unlike most other BMW M engines, the S65 and S85 are not related to a regular production BMW engine.[1]

The S65 won the International Engine of the Year award for the 3.0 to 4.0 L category in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.[2]

Design

The S65 shares the same cylinder dimensions with the S85 V10, with a Script error: No such module "convert". bore and a Script error: No such module "convert". stroke. Other common features include individual throttle bodies,[3] ionic current knock sensing,[4] double-VANOS (variable valve timing) and the 12.0:1 compression ratio.[5] The redline is 8,400 rpm.

To reduce weight, a wet-sump lubrication system with two electrically operated scavenging pumps and a main oil pump replaces the three-pump wet-sump system used on the S85.[6][7][8] The dry weight of the S65 is Script error: No such module "convert"..[9]

The alternator reduces or stops charging (depending on battery charge level) during acceleration to maximise power, only fully charging the battery during braking and decelerating whenever possible, in a system BMW calls Brake Energy Regeneration.[6]

The engine control unit (ECU/DME) is a Siemens MSS60,[10][11] which is based on the Siemens MSS65 ECU used in the S85 engine[12] The S65 weighs Script error: No such module "convert"., which is Script error: No such module "convert". less than its S54 straight-6 engine predecessor.[13]

The firing order for the S65 engine is 1-5-4-8-7-2-6-3, which is different from the typical BMW V8 firing order of 1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2.[14]
