What is the difference between the M57D30TU2 and other M57 engines?

The M57D30TU2 makes 210 kW (286 HP) and 580 Nm. The other M57 engines are: M57D30TU with 160 kW (218 HP) and 500 Nm (2003 to 2010); M57D25TU with 130 kW (177 HP) and 400 Nm (2000 to 2007).

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.
