BMW Engine Families — N52, N55, B58 & M Performance Units

The BMW engine lineup spans four major families that account for the overwhelming majority of replacement demand. Understanding which family your vehicle uses is the first step before sourcing any replacement.

N52 Naturally Aspirated Inline-Six:

The N52 straight-six powered the 325i, 328i, 525i, 528i, X3, and Z4 across the 2006 to 2013 model years. Producing 215 to 230 hp depending on the variant. It is one of BMW's most respected naturally aspirated units, smooth, responsive, and genuinely long-lived when oil changes are maintained. A used BMW 3 Series engine or used BMW X3 engine from the N52 family represents outstanding value from a well-documented, highly reliable donor pool.

N55 Turbocharged Inline-Six:

The N55 replaced the twin-turbo N54 in 2011 and became BMW's dominant six-cylinder platform through 2016, powering the 335i, 435i, 535i, 640i, X4 xDrive35i, and X5 xDrive35i. Producing 300 to 306 hp, the N55 delivers strong real-world performance with better oil system reliability than the N54 it replaced. A BMW N55 engine for sale from Moon Auto Parts covers all major applications from 2011 through 2016 with documented low mileage.

B58 Turbocharged Inline-Six:

The B58 is BMW's current-generation 3.0L turbocharged six-cylinder, powering the M340i, 440i, 540i, 740i, X3 xDrive30i, X5 xDrive40i, and X7. Producing 335 hp in standard tune and up to 382 hp in M Performance applications, the BMW B58 engine represents a significant reliability improvement over earlier turbocharged inline-six units. B58 replacement demand is growing rapidly as 2016 to 2020 examples accumulate mileage.

N62 and N63 V8 Units:

The N62 naturally aspirated V8 powers the 545i, 550i, 645Ci, 650i, 745i, and 750i across the 2002 to 2010 era. The N63 twin-turbo V8 took over from 2010 onwards in the 550i, 650i, X5 M50i, and M550i. For high-performance applications, the BMW M3 engine has evolved through multiple generations from the S65 V8 to the current S58 engine powering the G80 M3 and G82 M4 Competition, both of which are available in our inventory for qualified replacement orders.

Low-Mileage Used BMW Engines For Sale - VIN Verification Included

BMW engine replacement requires a higher level of specification precision than most mainstream brands. BMW uses multiple Valvetronic configurations, VANOS timing variants, and emissions specifications (California CARB vs federal) within the same model and year. The N52, for example, comes in N52B25, N52B30, and N52KP variants with different power outputs and electronic configurations that are physically similar but electronically incompatible. Every low-mileage BMW engine we stock comes with documented mileage from donor vehicle records, not estimates.

Both are turbocharged 3.0L inline-six engines but from different generations. The N55 (2011–2016) uses a twin-scroll single turbocharger producing 300 to 306 hp. The B58 (2016–present) is a completely redesigned unit with improved cooling, closed-deck block construction, and integrated exhaust manifold, producing 335 hp in standard tune. They are not interchangeable — always provide your VIN to confirm the correct generation before ordering.
Yes. We stock both the N62 naturally aspirated V8 (545i, 550i, X5 4.8i, 745i, 750i) and the N63 twin-turbo V8 (550i, X5 M50i, M550i) depending on model year. Provide your VIN to confirm which V8 variant your vehicle requires — the N62 and N63 are not compatible despite sharing similar displacement.
We cross-reference your full VIN against the engine listing to confirm the engine family code, Valvetronic configuration, VANOS variant, emissions specification (CARB vs Federal), and drivetrain compatibility (xDrive vs RWD). This eliminates the most common BMW fitment errors caused by ordering by model name alone without checking variant codes.
