3.0 TDI "BMK" Engine [Audi A4, A6, A8, Phaeton]

Audi has built a wide range of diesel engines over the years, and one of the most popular is the 3.0 TDI. This engine has powered numerous Audi models and is better known by its engine code, BMK. It was engineered to deliver reliability, efficiency and outstanding performance.

The BMK code identifies a 3.0-litre diesel engine. The block is cast in aluminium, keeping the unit light yet durable. The crankshaft is precision-ground, and the pistons are made from a wear-resistant material. The engine also features two turbochargers, which deliver sharp acceleration while improving fuel economy.

The 3.0 TDI’s greatest strength is its performance. Its six cylinders produce up to 240 horsepower and a hefty 500 Nm of torque, making it an excellent power source for larger cars such as the Audi Q7 and Audi A8. Despite this output, the engine remains highly economical, with combined fuel consumption under 8 litres per 100 km.

Audi fitted the 3.0 TDI BMK engine in several of its models. Below is a list of the cars it was used in, along with the model years in which it was available:
