BMW has won the International Engine Of The Year award for 2015, with the petrol powerplant from its i8 performance car taking the top gong.

The win ends a three-year streak from Ford’s 1.0 litre three-cylinder EcoBoost engine, which took out the award in 2012, 2013 and 2014.

But the judges still showed their preference for small three-cylinder engines, voting in 2015 for the 1.5 litre turbocharged unit from BMW’s i8 hybrid system.

The BMW engine amassed 274 points to take the win, ahead of Ford’s triple-winner in the EcoBoost engine on 267 and another three-cylinder engine - the 1.2 litre unit from PSA Peugeot Citroen - on 222 points in third.
