The B5 S powertrain, based on a 4.4 l V8, is truly unique. The charging system of this engine differs from conventional solutions: it is neither a turbocharger nor a compressor, instead boost comes from a so-called ‘radial compressor’ which one may visualise as a combination of both.
A quick glance at the power / torque curve suggest what one can expect from the complex technology that fills the BMW ALPINA B5 S’ engine bay. At a humble 2500rpm the engine already delivers 200hp. At 5500rpm a peak of 530hp (390kW) is available. This provides a very broad power band across which the B5 S offers superior performance, its 725Nm of torque providing turbine like acceleration!
