BMW, the quality car producing company is known for its technology and design. The automaker has a great reputation for its reliable and stylish cars and these are a few factors that make BMW cars stand out from others. Now the question is what exactly makes BMW cars some of the most efficient cars in the world? Let us have a look at a few BMW parts that contribute a lot to the popularity of BMW cars:

• The BMW fuel injector: Horsepower and emissions are the two things related to the fuel injector of a vehicle. Normally horsepower of a vehicle should be maximized while emissions should be minimized. To ensure this, a rapid burning of fuel is required. This is one of those areas where BMW technology excels. BMW cars feature a small needle-like valve, which injects the fuel forcefully under great pressure into the intake port. The fuel is atomized together with oxygen in the air, allowing the fuel to burn quickly and deliver adequate power for the car. Thus fuel injection system is the secret behind the great horsepower available in BMW cars.
• The BMW ignition coil: Even though the BMW engines work on the same principle as other conventional spark ignition engines, the spark produced by the spark plugs in a BMW engine requires a high-voltage electrical charge. This high voltage electrical charge is made available to the spark plugs with the help of the ignition coil. Based on the induction principle, the coil takes power from the accumulator and transforms it into thousands of volts. High voltage spark plugs are used in BMW cars in order to improve the starting performance or to enable an engine to start instantly in any weather condition. 
• The BMW thermostat: Another specialty of a BMW car is the thermostat. A Thermostat is capable of measuring and regulating the engine temperature of the car. It constantly monitors the temperature changes in the engine in order to control the temperature and this mechanism is instrumental in preventing engine damage due to overheating.
