The BMW B48 is a turbocharged inline-four petrol engine which replaced the BMW N20 and has been in production since 2014. It was first used in the F56 Mini Hatch and has been used in BMW applications since 2015.
The B48 is part of a modular BMW engine family of 3-cylinder (B38/ B37), 4-cylinder (B48/ ye) and 6-cylinder (B58) engines,[1] which use a displacement of 500 cc (30.5 cu in) per cylinder.
Design
Compared with its N20 predecessor, the B48 uses a more undersquare design, and engine block in "closed-deck construction".[2] As per the N20, the block and head are made from aluminium.[3] Other features shared with the N20 include a twin-scroll turbocharger, direct injection, variable valve lift (Valvetronic) and variable valve timing (Double VANOS).[4]
