The Munich-based brand walked off with an amazing five awards, including Best 2.5 ? 3.0 Litre for the 3.0-litre twin-turbo diesel in the BMW 535i, and Best 3.0 ? 4.0 Litre for the M-Power 3.2-litre straight six from the M3, M-Roadster and M-Coupe. It is BMW?s ultimate performance engine, mind you, its 5.0-litre V10 found in the M5 and the M6 that really swept up. Not only did it grab the title of Best Above 4.0-litre, but it also won Best Performance Engine as well as International Engine of the Year 2006. Amazingly, this fantastic motor won the exact same awards last year.
