All car such as the 2007 BMW 5 series for sale has a special space in their heart reserved for engines. They are in charge of giving life to the vehicles, in which this magical mixture of air and gasoline occurs to move the wheels. Although that is not always the case, because in some engines such as electric there is no internal combustion. But here we're going to go to those who use some kind of fossil fuel to get around.
Differences That Exist
In this case, we will not go into the differences that exist between a gasoline engine and a diesel engine, or in other technical details of this type. Neither in the orientation of the engine or where the car is placed. We are simply going to make an analysis of the types of engines that currently exist for the distribution of their cylinders. A subject that gives of what to speak, because there will be differences of performance according to the structure used.
Construction & Disposition
The very usual disposition at present is one of the cylinders in line. It is the simplest construction and therefore it is also very economical to produce and one of the least mechanical problems. The cylinders are all aligned in the same row, so you can not put different cylinders to increase the length of the engine too. In the market, the offer is very wide and we can find blocks of this with different cylinders in line. From major to minor: with two cylinders there is the small Fiat Twin Air and with three cylinders there are other options in several brands such as in BMW product line that one should be sought. And that difference affects the used vehicle prices and 2007 BMW 5 series price can be isolated.
Cylinders And TypesÂ
BMW is one of the great champions with such type of power tool. Historically there have also been eight-cylinder engines in line, but their dimensions mean that their use in cars has been limited. The arrangement of opposing cylinders, also known as a boxer engine, is not as popular but can still be found and has many followers. In this type of mechanics, we find that the cylinders are placed facing each other. This arrangement allows the total height of the block to be reduced considerably (although the width is still noticeable) and a low center of gravity is achieved. besides, the arrangement of cylinders in W is a kind of evolution of the previous one. It is a combination of two 'V' in the different cylinder banks and the same crankshaft. In this type of construction, the angle is usually less than in the 'V' (closer to the VR) for space reasons. Â
The key advantage is that they can transmit a large amount of torque very smoothly and without vibrations. While the arrangement of cylinders in H is a rarity due to its complexity. Physically it could resemble a kind of union of two boxer engines (each with its crankshaft) that share the transmission shaft. That is why it receives this name because when it is seen it remembers the letter 'H'. It could go both vertically and horizontally, having as a main advantage its compact dimensions and better aerodynamics, although its performance was lower.
