BMW S65: Everything You Need To Know - The BMW E90/E92/E93 M3 Engine Guide

►The BMW M3 has always featured a high-performance engine, but of the five variations, the E9X's S65 V8 is the top dog. While not the most powerful, it captures the essence of what the M badge used to stand for with its astronomical redline and shrieking roar. However, the once range-topping M3 is now just another used example, and its S65 can be had for under $25,000.

Owning an S65-powered car is a wonderful experience for most, but it's not without its common challenges. It's a reasonably unique engine with a handful of areas that need regular attention. Failing to provide the proper amount can mean significant damage, so you really need to know what you're getting into before purchasing. But don't worry, we've got you covered.

Follow along with Alex Nelson, FCP Euro's Automotive Design Engineer, as he takes you through everything you need to know about the BMW S65 V8 engine.
