BMW built the S52 engines we list from about 1996 to 1999. The S52B32 ran from 1996 to 1999.

They went into chassis E36 and Z3. The exact year of a car matters, because BMW sometimes changed the engine version or its parts in the middle of a model's life.

Each listing in our yard names the engine year, so you can match it to the build date of your car.
