Which cars use the BMW S85B50 engine?

BMW fitted the S85B50 to the BMW E60 M5, BMW E61 M5, BMW E63 M6 and BMW E64 M6. These cars were built with this engine from about 2005 to 2010.

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 S85B50 is the only S85 version we list, which makes it easy to pick, but the wiring and the engine computer still need to match your car.
