The N46 serves as the basis for the smaller BMW N45 engine (which does not have Valvetronic).
In 2007, the N46's successor - the BMW N43 - was introduced. However, the direct-injected N43 was not sold in countries with high-sulfur fuel, so the N46 continued to be produced alongside the N43. The N46 continued production until 2015, when the last N46 models were replaced by the BMW N13 turbocharged four-cylinder engine.
Compared with its N42 predecessor, the N46 features a revised crankshaft, intake manifold[2] and valvetrain.[3] In 2007, the N46 was updated, which was known as the N46N. Changes included the intake manifold, exhaust camshaft and the engine control unit was changed from Bosch Motronic version ME9.2 to version MV17.4.6.[2] The redline is 6,500 rpm.[4]

The N46B18 has a 1,796 cc (109.6 cu in) displacement and produces 85 kW (114 bhp) and 175 N⋅m (129 lb⋅ft).[5]
Applications:
The N46B20U0 produces 105 kW (141 bhp) and 200 N⋅m (148 lb⋅ft).
The N46B20U1 produces 95 kW (127 bhp) and 180 N⋅m (133 lb⋅ft).[5]
Applications:
The N46B20U2 produces 100 kW (134 bhp) and 180 N⋅m (133 lb⋅ft). It was used instead of the N43 engine in countries with high-sulfur fuel.
Applications:
The N46B20A produces 105 kW (141 bhp) and 200 N⋅m (148 lb⋅ft).
Applications:
