Automotive petrol engines

As per many other manufacturers, BMW has produced automotive petrol engines in the following layouts: straight-four engines and V8 engines.

BMW is also well known for its history of straight-six engines (instead of the V6 engine layout, which has replaced the straight-six engine layout for most other manufacturers). It has also produced engines in the following layouts: inline-three engines, V10 engines and V12 engines.

BMW has produced fifty-six automotive petrol engines, nine of which are still in production.
