The BMW N45 is a four-cylinder in - line engine from BMW . The N45 engine is a revised N40 engine . The naturally aspirated N45 engine was offered in the BMW E46 until it was used in the 116i . The 316ci and 316ti models were used in countries with high displacement taxation, where BMW suspected the 1.8-liter N42 engine would not sell.

The N45 engine, like the N42 engine, has the ME9 engine control, 16 valves and has double VANOS . It differs from the N42 mainly in the lack of Valvetronic . The revised version N45N had u. a. a new engine control (like ME1745).

The N45B20S with a displacement of 2 liters occupies a special position. It was installed in the BMW E90 as a 320si. This special model was offered in 2006 as a homologation model for the WTCC in a limited edition (2600 pieces). The engine has some special features. The liners are made of an aluminum alloy and are inserted into the cylinder bore. With regular N45 / N46 engines, these are made of gray cast iron and are cast into the cylinder block. Other special features are the reinforced connecting rods and the bedplate crankcase (aluminum housing with gray cast iron inserts). The compression has been increased from 10.5: 1 to 11: 1. The cast blanks for the cylinder head are made in the Formula 1 foundry at BMW's Landshut plant . Because of the high thermal loads in racing, the coolant channels of the cylinder head were designed to be particularly large and the water cooler of the six-cylinder models was used. In addition, the N45B20S has specially coated rocker arms and spark plugs controlled by individual ignition coils . The engine was largely made by hand at the Hams Hall engine plant .
