Bmw Turbocharger

The Ultimate Driving Machine is a Turbocharged BMW

Creating “The ultimate driving machine” is BMW’s claim to fame. BMW staked its reputation on naturally aspirated inline 6-cylinder engines during the 80s and 90s. These engines were more than adequate for their time and place, but in the here and now BMW turned to turbochargers to boost the power output of their engines.

Turbochargers were invented to increase the power output and efficiency of all engines. They were originally used on large marine engines, then came to be known as “altitude compensators” on aircraft engines.

For all of the power gains turbochargers allow, they also come with a few drawbacks. Turbos tend to break. They spin upwards of 150,000 RPMs during normal use. Even when you’re not driving fast, your BMW’s turbocharger is racing like a thoroughbred at the Kentucky Derby.

If you’ve recently experienced a loss of power or a trouble code (check engine light) in your late-model BMW, a failing turbocharger is likely to be the cause of the problem.
