context_page_description: The BMW OHV V8 is an overhead valve V8 petrol engine produced from 1954 to 1965. It is BMW's first V8 engine, and BMW did not produce another V8 automobile engine until the BMW M60 in 1992.
  The engine does not have an official model code, therefore it is often identified through being the only overhead valve V8 engine produced by BMW, since all other BMW V8 engines use a dual overhead camshaft valvetrain.
  Although not a direct replacement, in 1965 the six-cylinder BMW M30 engine took the OHV V8's place at the top of BMW's engine range.
