What is the difference between the M50B25 and other M50 engines?

The M50B25 makes 141 kW (192 HP) and 245 Nm. The other M50 engines are: M50B20 with 110 kW (150 HP) and 190 Nm (1990 to 1995).

Engines in one family share a basic block, but the turbo, the injection, the sensors and the engine computer can differ. A higher power version often has different pistons, a bigger turbo or a different fuel system.

This is why we ask for the exact code. Fitting a different version can work, but the wiring, the software and sometimes the gearbox must be changed to match.

Not sure? Send us your VIN and your gearbox code. We match the engine family, the year window and the parts on the engine before anything is reserved, and the check is free.
