Finding the right replacement engine for your BMW requires understanding the year-specific changes and technical specifications. Each generation of BMW engines offers unique performance, fuel efficiency, and durability. At Turbo Auto Parts, we make it easier by providing tested, reliable, and affordable used BMW engines with full specifications. Here’s a detailed year-wise breakdown.
BMW models from these years were powered mainly by the N52 naturally aspirated 3.0L inline-6 and the N54 3.0L twin-turbo inline-6.
N52 Engine Specs: Aluminum-magnesium block, 215–255 hp, Valvetronic system for efficiency.
N54 Engine Specs: Twin-turbocharged, direct-injection, producing up to 300 hp, known for tunability.
If you drive a 2008 BMW 328i, 335i, or X5, these car engines are your replacement options. At Turbo Auto Parts, we ensure each engine undergoes compression testing and oil leak checks before resale.
During these years, BMW improved its N55 3.0L inline-6 turbocharged engine, which replaced the N54.
N55 Engine Specs: Single twin-scroll turbo, direct injection, 300 hp, smoother torque curve, fewer maintenance issues.
N52 Continues: Found in base 3 Series and 5 Series models, offering 230 hp.
Popular models like the BMW 335i, 528i, and X3 from this era use these engines. Customers seeking reliability and power often prefer the N55 for long-term use.
BMW introduced smaller turbocharged engines alongside its inline-6 options.
N20 2.0L 4-Cylinder Turbo: 240 hp, direct injection, found in 328i, X1, and 528i.
N55 3.0L Inline-6 Turbo: Continued in higher trims like 335i and X5, producing 300 hp.
If you own a BMW from this range, choosing between the efficient N20 or the powerful N55 depends on your driving style. All our engines are inspected for timing chain health, a common issue in N20 models.
BMW shifted to its modular B-series engines, designed for efficiency and durability.
B46/B48 2.0L Turbo 4-Cylinder: 240–255 hp, improved fuel economy, found in 330i and X3.
B58 3.0L Turbo Inline-6: 322–355 hp, closed-deck design for better reliability, used in 340i, X5, and 740i.
These engines are highly sought after for their balance of performance, economy, and long-term durability. Our inventory includes both low-mileage B46 and B58 engines backed by warranty.
Refinement of the B-series engines continued.
B48 2.0L Turbo 4-Cylinder: 255 hp, efficient and reliable.
B58 3.0L Turbo Inline-6: 335 hp, praised for strong tuning potential and durability.
These engines powered popular models like the BMW 330i, X5, and M340i. Customers seeking high reliability should look for these newer-generation B-series engines.
