Is the BMW Engine Longitudinal or Transverse?
1 Answers
BMW X5's engine is longitudinally mounted. Engine Layout Methods: There are two types of engine layouts used in automobiles: one is the transverse layout, and the other is the longitudinal layout. A longitudinally mounted engine means the engine is perpendicular to the front axle of the car, while a transversely mounted engine means the engine is parallel to the front axle. Identification Method: If you want to determine the engine's layout type, the simplest way is to open the car's engine hood. If the engine is placed horizontally, it is a transverse engine; if the engine is placed longitudinally, it indicates a longitudinal layout.
