Uncommon card · No. 125086

The BMW M50 is a straight-6 DOHC petrol engine which was produced from 1990 to 1996. It was first released in the E34 520i and 525i to replace the M20 engine and the new E36 320i and 325i. In September 1992, the M50TÜ "technical update" (Technische Überarbeitung) introduced BMW's use of Variable Valve Timing (called VANOS) to its engines. The S50 was introduced in 1992 as a high-performance variant of the M50, which powered the E36 M3 and Z3 M. The M50 began to be phased out following the introduction of the M52 engine in 1994.
