What the Bmw filings say about the engines

Bmw has filed only fuel-injected engines: 23 certificate rows and no carburettors at all, so a jet kit is the wrong search for any of them.

The engine codes on Bmw's test vehicles —6 distinct across the filings — are led by A24A09B, A81A03B, A24A09A, A24A08A* and A81A03A. The code is stamped on the crankcase and is a better search term than the badge.

All 23 filings are 50-state certifications, so every one of these machines was certified for sale in California.

Rated power across the range runs from 25 kW to 77 kW (about 34 to 103 hp).

The vehicle builder named on every row is BMW AG.

Each figure is read straight off the EPA certificate rows; the per-family pages below carry the full breakdown for every engine family.
