How Many Cylinders Does the BMW 740 Engine Have?

[WalkerMarie]

The new BMW 740 features a six-cylinder engine. Introduction to Cylinder Count: The number of cylinders in an engine refers to the cylinder count, with common configurations including: three-cylinder, four-cylinder, five-cylinder, six-cylinder, eight-cylinder, ten-cylinder, twelve-cylinder, and sixteen-cylinder. Different engine displacements use varying numbers of cylinders. Engine Classification: Engines with 1 to 1.5 liters typically use three cylinders; 2.0-liter engines are four-cylinder; 2.5-liter engines have five cylinders; engines around 3 liters are six-cylinder; those around 4 liters are eight-cylinder; 5.2-liter engines are ten-cylinder; and engines above 5.5 liters use twelve cylinders. Common Structure in Sedans: Sedans typically employ a four-valve-per-cylinder structure, with each cylinder having two intake valves and two exhaust valves. This four-valve-per-cylinder design significantly enhances the engine's intake and exhaust efficiency.
