Eccentric Shafts
The eccentric shafts (one per cylinder head) are driven by the
Valvetronic motors and are supported by four caged needle
bearing assemblies for a smooth rotation.
To assist in maintaining the set positions and counter the
valve train torque, a torque compensation spring is mounted
on the end of the shaft for tension.
Magnets are fitted in the (removable) magnetic wheel at the
end of the eccentric shaft. Together with the position sensor,
the Valvetronic Control Module determines the exact shaft
position. The eccentric shaft sensor is mounted through the
cylinder head cover (one per cylinder head) at the back.
The magnetic wheel is secured to the shaft by a bolt and is
indexed by a tab (arrow) to prevent incorrect installation.
Intermediate Lever and Roller Finger
The intermediate lever is positioned further (minimum valve
opening) or closer (maximum valve opening) to the camshaft
by the the progressive “lobe” on the eccentric shaft as it is
rotated. This offers a variable ratio effect for valve actuation.
The roller finger is used to actuate the intake valve.
The intermediate levers and roller fingers are matched (by
classification) to ensure uniform valve lift.

Camshaft Sensors
The cam shaft sensors (Hall effect) are mounted through the cylinder head cover. There are
two sensors per cylinder head to monitor the intake and exhaust camshaft positions.
The sensors monitor the impulse wheels
attached to the ends of the camshafts.
Solenoid Valves
The VANOS solenoid valves are mounted through the upper timing case front cover. There
are two solenoids per cylinder head to control the oil flow to the camshaft ports for the
intake and exhaust VANOS units.
The 4/3 way proportional solenoid valve is acti-
vated by the ECM to direct oil flow. The sole-
noid valve is sealed to the front cover by a radi-
al seal and secured by a retaining plate.

The coolant flows to the rear of the engine block, from there through the side channels to
the cylinder walls and then into the cylinder heads (lower left picture). The cast aluminum
cover at the rear of the engine block (with sealing bead) is shown on the lower right.
Water Pump/Thermostat Housing
The water pump is combined with the thermostat housing and is bolted to the timing case
lower section.

Map-controlled Thermostat
The map-controlled thermostat allows the engine to be cooled relevant to operating con-
ditions. This reduces fuel consumption by approximately 1-6%. The electrical connections,
the design and the map-controlled thermostat response have been enhanced. The map-
controlled thermostat function is the same as previous engines (M62).
Cooling Module
The cooling module contains the following main cooling system components:
• Cooling radiator
• Air conditioning condenser
• Transmission oil/water heat exchanger
• Hydraulic fluid radiator
• Engine oil radiator
• Main electric fan
• Fan shroud for viscous coupling fan
All the components (with the exception of the transmission oil radiator) can be removed for
repairs without disassembling any other coolant circuit. All connections have been fitted
with the quick-release coupling which are used in current models.

Oil Sump
The oil sump consists of two parts. The upper section of the oil sump is made from cast
aluminum and is sealed to the crankcase with a rubber-coated sheet steel gasket. This
section of the oil sump has a cross shaped cut out oil filter element recess. The upper sec-
tion of the oil sump is inter connected to the oil pump and is sealed with a sealing ring. The
double panel (noise insulation) lower section of the oil sump is flanged to the upper section
of the oil sump.
Crankcase
The crankcase has a one-piece “open deck” design and is made entirely from AluSil. The
cylinder walls are hardened using a specific procedure (exposure honing). Exposure hon-
ing involves treating the cylinders with a special “soft stripping”. This removes the aluminum
from the cylinder surface and the hard silicone particles remain.
