INTRODUCTION
The N62TU is an advanced development of the N62.
> N62TU
The 8-cylinder spark-ignition engine N62TU has been modified. Compared to the N62, the engine develops more output and torque.
The N62TU is available in 2 displacement versions: 4.0 liter and 4.8 liter. The current version of the digital engine electronics is the DME 9.2.2.
The N62TU is currently installed in the E65, E66 (BMW 7-Series).
Further installation schedule:
> E60, E61 (BMW 5-Series) and E63, E64 (BMW 6-Series): from 09/2005
> E63, E64 (BMW 6-Series): from 09/2005New features on the N62TU:
- 2-stage differentiated intake manifold with 2 DISA servomotors (each DISA servomotor has one output stage)
- EURO 4 emissions standard without secondary air system
- Hot-film air-mass sensor with digital signal
- Electronic oil level control
> N62TU upgraded
Introduction schedule:
> E60, E61: from 03/2007
> E63, E64: from 09/2007
> E65, E66: from 09/2007
> E70 (BMW X5): from 09/2006New features on the N62TU:
- New digital engine electronics (DME 9.2.3)
- New D-CAN diagnosis interface
D-CAN is a new diagnosis interface with a new communication protocol (supersedes the previous OBD interface). D-CAN transfers data between the vehicle and the BMW diagnosis system (DCAN = "Diagnosis-on CAN"). D-CAN is first being introduced on the E70.> E65, E66 (US version only)
- CO2 measures (Europe version only):
- Increased idling speed (for limited time) after a cold start to heat up the catalysts more quickly. In addition, modifications to the engine settings produce improved residual gas combustion.
- Active air flap control
Active air flap control will be introduced on the E60, E61 in 03/2007 (introduction on E70 in 09/2007).- Intelligent alternator regulation (sales designation: "Brake Energy Regeneration"). Intelligent alternator regulation is first being introduced on the E60, E61 (introduction on the E70 in 09/2007).
Engine-specific data:
The 8-cylinder spark-ignition engine is characterized by the following technical features:
- 90º V8 engine
- Valvetronic with separate Valvetronic control unit
- 2-stage differentiated air intake system (DISA)
- Variable camshaft control (double VANOS)
- Integrated supply module for power supply to DME and other components (not E70)

Principle
At blind driveway exits or when driving out of perpendicular
parking spaces, road users approaching
from the side are detected sooner by the
cross traffic warning than is possible from the

Refueling
Follow the following when
refueling
General information
Follow the fuel recommendation prior to refueling.
When refueling, insert the filler nozzle completely
into the filler pipe. Lifting up the filler nozzle during
refueling causes:
Premature switching off.
Reduced return of the fuel vapors.
