Each winner of the 11 engine categories were automatically entered for consideration to claim the overall title. BMW had seven winning engines in different categories.

The judges awarded the 3.0-litre twin turbo with 395 points, 136 points clear of Volkswagen’s 1.4-litre FSI/TSI engine which came in second place.
