BMW OHV V8 engine
The BMW OHV V8 engine was the first V8 engine made by BMW. This engine is usually named by the fact that it was the only pushrod-driven overhead valve V8 ever produced by BMW. All subsequent BMW V8 engines would use double overhead camshafts and fuel injection, but the development of the next V8 engine by BMW would not take place for more than three and a half decades.〔(BMW 840Ci )〕
==Introduction==
The BMW 501 was the first car made by BMW after World War II. Upon its introduction in 1951, it was the largest and heaviest car BMW had made. It was powered by a straight-6 engine based on a pre-war design, and though power was increased to ,〔(Details on BMW 501 )〕 it was a sluggish performer. Their primary competitor, Mercedes-Benz, fielded the W187 in the same class but with superior performance.
Alfred Böning, BMW's chief engineer at the time, realized that the 501's engine would not be powerful enough. He got permission to design a new, larger engine for the 501, and began the design and development of the V8 engine. The design was finalized by Fritz Fiedler when he returned to BMW in 1952.
In order to reassert their status as the producer of sporty sedans, BMW debuted a version of the 501 sedan with a V8 engine. This was called the BMW 502. This V8 engine was available in 2.6 L (157 in3) and 3.2 L (193 in3) form.
