The BMW M10 is a SOHC inline-4 petrol engine which was produced by BMW from 1962-1988. It was the company's first four-cylinder engine since the BMW 309 ended production in 1936 and was introduced in the New Class sedans.

The M10 was used in many BMW models, with over 3.5 million being produced during its 26 year production run.[1]

The turbocharged BMW M12 engine— used in the Formula One racing— was based on the M10 engine block and produced up to 1,400 PS (1,030 kW) in qualifying trim.[citation needed]

Following the introduction of the BMW M40 engine in 1987, the M10 began to be phased out.

Development

[edit]

Baron Alex von Falkenhausen — an engineer and racing driver — designed the M10 in the late 1950s.[1] He was asked by BMW to design an engine with a displacement of 1.3 L (79 cu in), but felt that this would be insufficient for the company's future needs. He convinced management that the minimum capacity should be 1.5 L (92 cu in), and offered an engine that could be expanded to a maximum of 2.0 L (122 cu in).

Design

[edit]

The M10 has a cast iron block and an aluminum alloy head with hemispherical combustion chambers and two valves per cylinder.[2] It features a forged crankshaft, counterbalance weights, five main bearings and a chain-driven camshaft.[3]

The initial version of the M10 had a bore of 82 mm (3.2 in) and a stroke of 71 mm (2.8 in), resulting in a displacement of 1,499 cc (91.5 cu in). The peak power rating was 59 kW (80 PS; 79 hp).[4][5]

Naming conventions

[edit]

The engine was initially known as the "M115" (the last two digits representing the 1.5–litre capacity). Over the years, variants of the engine were given various codes (most of them starting with "M1" and the remaining digits relating to the capacity). In 1975, the engine became known as then "M10", then in 1980 it was given the standardised BMW engine code of M10B18 (where "M10" represents the series, B represents petrol (Benzin in German) and the "18" represented its then 1.8–litre capacity).

The M115 and all related engines have become retroactively known as the "M10" family.
