Which cars use the BMW N52B30 engine?

BMW fitted the N52B30 to the BMW E90 330i, BMW E92 330i, BMW E60 530i, BMW E85 Z4 3.0si, BMW E87 130i and BMW E70 X5 3.0si. These cars were built with this engine from about 2005 to 2011.

The badge on the boot is not enough to be sure. The same model name can hide two different engines, for example after a facelift or a change in emission rules. Always read the engine code stamped on the block, or look it up with your VIN.

Other engines in the same N52 family are the N52B25 (218 HP). They look alike but differ in power, parts and electronics, so they are not always a direct swap.
