"With this triumph, BMW’s 3.2-liter straight-six, dubbed S54, has won its category five years in a row."

"This means that BMW is the most successful brand to participate in the Engine of the Year competition, the Munich engine builder now having seized 26 trophies over a period of seven years. The 252 kW (343 bhp) 3.2-litre high-performance power unit featured in the BMW M3 has alone received this coveted award for the fifth time in succession - an unprecedented record."
