Which cars use the BMW S52B32 engine?

BMW fitted the S52B32 to the BMW E36 M3 US and BMW Z3 M US. These cars were built with this engine from about 1996 to 1999.

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.

The S52B32 is the only S52 version we list, which makes it easy to pick, but the wiring and the engine computer still need to match your car.
