Where listed, power output figures are based on the most powerful production variant of that engine, because some manufacturers use different engine maps to tune the same engine for better fuel economy, performance or to differentiate models in the range.

This engine was used in the Procar BMW M1 as it met Group 4 regulations. This version when compared to the M88 used in the production BMW M1 had forged pistons, sharper camshafts, bigger valves, as well as oil cooling for the transmission and rear differential.
