1.1.1.�General
This�Product�Information�is�designed�to�provide�you�with�information�on�the�structure�and�function�of
the�N57�TOP�engine.�This�Product�Information�is�designed�as�a�work�of�reference�and�complements
the�seminar�material�prepared�by�BMW�Aftersales�Training.�The�Product�Information�is�also�suitable
for�studies�on�your�own.�The�Product�Information�provides�insight�into�the�new�N57�TOP�6-cylinder
diesel�engine.�Technical�and�practical�prior�knowledge�of�the�current�BMW�diesel�engines�will�make�it
easier�to�understand�the�systems�and�functions�presented�here.

1.1.2.�”The�best�in�its�class”�N57�TOP�engine
The�N57�TOP�engine�will�be�deployed�for�the�first�time�in�09/2009�in�the�740d.�The�N57�TOP�engine
will�also�successively�replace�the�M57TU2�TOP�engine�in�the�other�model�series.�The�basis�for�the
N57�TOP�engine�is�the�N57�engine.�The�decisive�difference�between�the�N57�engine�and�the�N57
TOP�engine�is�in�the�multi-stage�turbocharging.�This�means�that�the�high-pressure�stage�is�imple-
mented�for�the�first�time�by�means�of�a�VNT�exhaust�turbocharger.�As�in�the�case�of�the�M57TU2�TOP
engine,�two�different�sizes�of�exhaust�turbocharger�are�placed�in�succession.�This�resolves�the�conflict
of�objectives�between�response�characteristics�and�utilisation�of�power�output.

4.3.1.�Operating�characteristics
The�operating�characteristics�of�an�exhaust�turbocharger�are�described�in�a�characteristic�map.�The
pressure�ratio�is�indicated�via�the�volumetric�flow.�The�usable�characteristic-map�range�of�the�exhaust
turbocharger�is�limited�by:

15
N57�TOP�engine.
4.�Intake�air�and�exhaust�system.
• the�pump�limit
• the�choke�limit
• the�maximum�permitted�exhaust�turbocharger�speed.

Pump�limit

If�the�volumetric�flows�are�too�low�and�the�pressure�ratios�too�high,�the�flow�separates�from�the�com-
pressor�blades.�This�interrupts�the�delivery�procedure.�The�partial�vacuum�on�the�intake�side�means
that�the�air�flow�backwards�through�the�compressor�until�a�stable�pressure�ratio�is�re-established�and
the�air�once�again�flows�forwards.�The�pressure�builds�up�again.�The�operation�repeats�itself�in�rapid
succession.�The�noise�that�is�generated�is�where�the�term�”pumping”�comes�from.

Choke�limit

The�maximum�volumetric�flow�of�the�exhaust�turbocharger�is�limited�by�the�cross�section�at�the�com-
pressor�entry�point.�Even�with�the�speed�rising�to�any�degree,�the�flow�rate�cannot�be�increased�be-
yond�a�certain�value.�This�value�is�reached�when�the�air�in�the�wheel�entry�point�reaches�the�speed�of
sound.

4.3.2.�Multi-stage�turbocharging
As�a�result�of�the�operating�characteristics�described�above,�the�configuration�of�an�exhaust�tur-
bocharger�always�means�a�conflict�of�objectives.�A�small�exhaust�turbocharger�responds�quickly�and
ensures�rounded�torque�even�at�low�speeds.�However,�its�utilisation�of�the�power�output�is�limited,�as
it�reaches�the�pump�and�choke�limit�at�an�early�stage.�Although�it�can�generate�high�pressures,�its�size
means�the�volumetric�flow�is�limited.�A�large�exhaust�turbocharger�is�able�to�generate�high�power�out-
put�at�high�speeds.�However,�it�responds�sluggishly�and�does�no�achieve�high�charge-air�pressure�at
low�speeds.�One�solution�to�resolve�this�conflict�of�objectives�is�the�so-called�variable�turbine�geom-
etry�(or�Variable�Nozzle�Turbine,�VNT)�that�is�used�in�most�BMW�diesel�engines.�Adjusting�the�guide
vanes�of�the�turbine�wheel�adapts�the�flow�cross�section�to�the�engine�operating�point.�However,�this
system�also�has�its�limits,�which�means�that�it�is�not�possible�to�cover�the�entire�operating�range�of�the
engine.�The�optimum�would�be�two�exhaust�turbochargers:�a�small�one�for�rapid�response�characteris-
tics�and�a�large�one�for�maximum�utilisation�of�power�output.

This�is�precisely�what�is�achieved�by�the�BMW�TOP�diesel�engines.�Two�inline�exhaust�turbochargers
are�used.�A�small�exhaust�turbocharger�forms�the�high-pressure�stage;�a�larger�exhaust�turbocharg-
er�forms�the�low-pressure�stage.�What�is�new�is�that�the�exhaust�turbocharger�for�the�high-pressure
stage�is�designed�for�the�first�time�as�a�VNT�exhaust�turbocharger.�The�low-pressure�stage�has�a�rigid

The�high-pressure�stage�is�the�smaller�of�the�two�exhaust�turbochargers.�It�is�bolted�onto�the�exhaust
manifold�with�a�triple�bolt�connection�two�V-ring�seals.�The�high-pressure�stage�is�no�connected�to�any

5.1.�Electropneumatic�pressure�converter�(EPDW)
In�addition�to�the�exhaust�gas�recirculation�valve,�electropneumatic�pressure�converters�are�used�in�the
N57�TOP�engine�to�control�the�turbine�control�flap�and�wastegate�valve.�The�EPDW�uses�the�partial
vacuum�in�the�system�and�the�ambient�pressure�to�create�a�control�pressure�(mixed�pressure),�which
it�then�applies�to�the�partial-vacuum�canister.�This�enables�any�variable�position�between�opened�and
closed�to�be�set.�The�DDE�delivers�the�electrical�signal�on�which�the�control�pressure�setting�is�based.
This�means�that�the�turbine�control�flap�and�wastegate�valve�can�be�variably�adjusted.

5.2.�Electric�changeover�valve�(EUV)
Alongside�the�electric�changeover�valve�for�the�EGR�bypass�valve,�an�additional�changeover�valve�is
used�for�the�bypass�plate.�In�contrast�to�the�pressure�converter�(EPDW),�no�control�pressure�is�set
here;�the�partial�vacuum�in�the�system�is�merely�switched�through�to�the�partial-vacuum�canister.�No
regulated�position�of�the�bypass�plate�is�enabled;�the�positions�are�merely�opened�or�closed.

5.3.�Vacuum�reservoir
A�new�feature�compared�to�the�N57�engine�is�the�vacuum�reservoir.�If�the�partial�vacuum�in�the�sys-
tem�drops,�this�means�that�the�turbine�control�flap�and�bypass�plate�can�still�be�controlled.�If�this�were
not�the�case,�an�immediate�power�loss�of�the�engine�could�be�noticed.�Such�a�drop�in�the�vacuum�sys-
tem�can�occur�if�the�brake�booster�consumes�a�great�deal�of�partial�vacuum.�The�vacuum�reservoir�is
equipped�with�a�non-return�valve�that�prevents�the�partial�vacuum�from�escaping�towards�the�brake
booster.

Without�this�vacuum�reservoir,�the�vacuum�pump�would�have�to�be�significantly�larger.�There�would
then�be�sufficient�partial�vacuum�available�to�control�the�turbocharge�group�if�the�brake�booster�were
working�to�the�maximum.�However,�the�capacity�of�such�a�pump�would�only�be�required�very�rarely.�A
vacuum�reservoir�is�therefore�the�more�efficient�option�to�cover�the�maximum�partial�vacuum�require-
ment.

The�vacuum�reservoir�is�integrated�in�the�intake�air�collector,�with�which�it�forms�a�component.
