How much power and torque does the BMW N55B30 have?

From the factory the BMW N55B30 makes 225 kW (306 HP) and 400 Nm of torque. It is a 3.0 liter (2,979 cc) inline 6, DOHC, 24 valve petrol engine with a twin-scroll turbocharger.

Because it is turbocharged, the torque comes in low in the rev range, which makes the car feel strong in everyday driving. A healthy turbo, a clean intercooler and tight boost pipes are key to getting the full figure.

A used engine reaches its factory numbers when it is fitted with the matching engine computer and software, and serviced with the right oil and filters. If the engine computer from your car is a different version, a specialist may need to code it.

Every N55B30 on our site lists its year and mileage. If you want more photos or a short video of a unit, ask the desk and we send them before you pay.
