Valvetronic
The Valvetronic system is a BMW variable valve lift system[1] which, in combination with variable valve timing, allows infinite adjustment of the intake valve timing and duration.[2] The system claims to improve fuel economy and emissions, and negates the need for a throttle body in regular use.
