The BMW M50 is a straight-6 DOHC petrol engine which was produced from 1990 to 1996. It was released in the E34 520i and 525i, to replace the M20 engine.^[1]

In September 1992, the M50 was upgraded to the M50TU ("technical update"), which was BMW's first engine to use variable valve timing.^[2] Called single VANOS by BMW, the system adjusted the phasing of the intake camshaft.^[3]

The M50 began to be phased out following the introduction of the M52 engine in 1994.

The E36 M3 is powered by the S50 engine series, which is a high output version of the M50.

Design

Initial version of the M50 (prior to 1992 Technical Update)

A significant advance over its M20 predecessor, the M50 features dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) with four valves per cylinder (the M20 has a single overhead camshaft with 2 valves per cylinder), coil-on-plug ignition, a knock sensor and a lightweight plastic intake manifold.^[4] Both engines use an iron block with an aluminum alloy head.^[5] The redline is 6,500 rpm for the M50B25 and 6,750 rpm for the M50B20 (7,000 rpm for S50 models), the same as the final version of the M20.

The location of the oil pan (sump) varies according to the model the M50 is installed in. It is in the front on the E34 5 Series (like the M20),^[6] whereas it is in the rear on the E36 3 Series.^[7]

Models

M50B20

M50B25TU

The M50B25 was updated with single VANOS in 1992, resulting in peak torque becoming available at 4,200 rpm. It produces 141 kW (189 hp) at 5,900 rpm and 250 N⋅m (184 lb⋅ft) at 4,200 rpm.^[8] The compression ratio was increased to 10.5:1.

M50B30TU concept

In 1993, BMW Individual created an concept of BMW E34 530iX called Enduro Touring. Only one car was produced, having an up-sized variant of M50B25TU engine. Bore and stroke was increased and the total displacement of 3.0 was achieved. The power and torque both increased to 181 kW (243 hp) and 316 N⋅m (233 lb⋅ft) respectively.

A Guide to a Full Downdraft Spray Booth

Welcome to our dedicated guide on full downdraft spray booths. Whether you’re a seasoned industrial expert or just getting started, we’ll provide you with all the valuable insights to help you decide whether this type of spray booth is suitable for your needs.

---

Understanding Full Downdraft Spray Booths

A full downdraft spray booth is a fully enclosed paint booth designed to ensure clean and efficient paint applications while minimising the release of over-spray into the surrounding environment.

The term ‘full downdraft’ describes the specific airflow pattern of the spray booth. In a full downdraft spray booth, air is drawn in from the ceiling and then pulled down, exiting through the lower exhaust system located in a concrete pit or raised floor basement. This downward airflow helps to direct over-spray and contaminants away from the object being painted, guiding them towards the floor where they are captured and filtered.

Key Benefits

• Allows you to produce high quality, premium finishes.
• Vertical airflow guides over-spray downward, reducing contamination and improving paint transfer.
• Airborne particles are continuously directed downwards even when the painter is spraying from different directions.
• The full downdraft design covers the entire work area, ensuring that over-spray is effectively managed across the entire painting process.
• Improves air quality and creates a much safer environment for the operator.
• Typically designed with enough room to comfortably accommodate large vehicles and other sizable objects.
• Easy to keep clean and provides excellent throughput capacity.
• Ideal for the automotive and aerospace industries.

Things to Consider

When deciding on a type of booth to go for, it’s important to keep in mind all types of considerations. For example, a full downdraft booth requires more space compared to other conventional designs and will typically use more air (around 20 to 40 percent more). This means they require bigger air units, exhaust fans, filters, and more power – resulting in higher installation and operational costs.

Comparing Full Downdraft and Semi Downdraft Designs

Full downdraft spray booths draw air vertically from the ceiling to the floor, while semi downdraft booths employ a diagonal airflow. The difference lies in the intake and exhaust systems, resulting in distinct airflow patterns and levels of over-spray control. The nature of the airflow in downdraft paint booths produces the fewest blemishes, with the least amount of buffing required.

WhatsApp Business vs. WhatsApp

While WhatsApp Messenger and WhatsApp Business use similar interfaces and are owned by the same parent company, several differences set them apart.

One key difference is that WhatsApp is meant for personal communication, while WhatsApp Business is built for businesses. As a result, many features are unavailable in the original WhatsApp application. For example, you can't automate messages using WhatsApp, but you can with the business WhatsApp platform. This allows you to send messages to clients at just the right time.

Thanks to the capabilities of the WhatsApp Business app, you have more ways to interact with ourselves.

We look forward to your messages!

Why do we need an SSL certificate?

Websites need SSL certificates to keep user data secure, verify ownership of the website, prevent attackers from creating a fake version of the site, and convey trust to users.

If a website is asking users to sign in, enter personal details such as their credit card numbers, or view confidential information such as health benefits or financial information, then it is essential to keep the data confidential. SSL certificates help keep online interactions private and assure users that the website is authentic and safe to share private information with.

More relevant to businesses is the fact that an SSL certificate is required for an HTTPS web address. HTTPS is the secure form of HTTP, which means that HTTPS websites have their traffic encrypted by SSL. Most browsers tag HTTP sites – those without SSL certificates – as "not secure." This sends a clear signal to users that the site may not be trustworthy – incentivizing businesses who have not done so to migrate to HTTPS.
