N62B48 or N62B40?
The N62B40 has 61 hp less than the N62B48 (306 against 367 hp), from 4.0 L instead of 4.8 L, and was built 2005–2010. A different capacity means a different crankshaft, pistons or head, and different software. It can be fitted as an upgrade with the matching engine control unit and wiring, but it is a conversion rather than a straight replacement.
N62B48 or N62B36?
The N62B36 has 95 hp less than the N62B48 (272 against 367 hp), from 3.6 L instead of 4.8 L, and was built 2001–2005. A different capacity means a different crankshaft, pistons or head, and different software. It can be fitted as an upgrade with the matching engine control unit and wiring, but it is a conversion rather than a straight replacement.
Common N62B48 problems
The N62B48 shares its weak points with the rest of the N62 family. These are the faults to check on a used unit and on your own engine. The full explanation of each is in the N62 guide.
| Known fault | What to check |
|---|---|
| Valve stem seals | Watch the exhaust after a long idle; heavy smoke on the first press of the throttle is typical. |
| Alternator bracket gasket | Look for oil at the back of the valley. |
| Valve cover gaskets | Look for burnt oil on the manifolds. |
| Valvetronic motors and eccentric shaft sensors | Read the fault memory for Valvetronic codes. |
| Coolant transfer pipe | Pressure-test the cooling system. |
| Timing chain guides | Listen for rattle on a cold start. |
Valvetronic motors and eccentric shaft sensors. The motors and sensors fail and force limp mode.
N62B48 maintenance
- 5W-30 BMW Longlife-01, about 8 litres with filter.
- Oil every 10,000 to 15,000 km.
- Timing chains at the front, one per bank, with guides and tensioners.

N62B48 prices
Across 104 N62B48 units in our stock today, prices start at 2.173,00 € and reach 6.663,00 €. The median — the price in the middle of the range — is 2.800,00 €.
Prices depend on the exact version, the donor's mileage, how complete the engine is and the demand for that code. Higher-output versions, low mileage and dressed engines with turbo, injectors and ancillaries cost more; long blocks and higher mileage cost less.
N62B48 prices by model year
| Model years | Units | From | Median | To |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2005–2009 | 86 | 2.176,00 € | 2.788,00 € | 3.441,00 € |
| 2010–2014 | 13 | 2.173,00 € | 2.705,00 € | 3.212,00 € |
Engines from 2005–2009 have a median of 2.788,00 €, while units from 2010–2014 sit at 2.705,00 €. Newer engines usually cost more because they come from younger donor cars with lower mileage and later updates.
N62B48 prices by mileage
| Donor mileage | Units | From | Median |
|---|---|---|---|
| under 50,000 km | 19 | 2.176,00 € | 2.569,00 € |
| 50,000 to 100,000 km | 26 | 2.183,00 € | 2.985,00 € |
| 100,000 to 150,000 km | 25 | 2.255,00 € | 2.724,00 € |
| over 150,000 km | 29 | 2.173,00 € | 2.798,00 € |
Mileage matters less than history on a well-maintained BMW engine, but it is a useful guide. A low-mileage unit from a younger car gives you more life for a modest premium.

Buying a used N62B48: checklist
- Ask how the donor car was damaged. Most good used engines come from cars with body damage. A front-end impact can crack sensors, the timing cover or the sump; a rear or side impact usually leaves the engine untouched. The yard records the damage on each unit.
- Compression or leak-down figures. Even compression across all cylinders tells you more than mileage. Ask for the figures, not just a pass or fail, and compare the highest and lowest readings: a spread above 10 to 15 percent deserves a question.
- Look at the oil and coolant. Clean oil without metal particles and coolant without oil are good signs. Milky oil, oily coolant or a burnt smell mean the engine needs further checks before it is fitted.
- Why your old engine failed. Before fitting a replacement, find out why the original failed. An overheating radiator, a blocked intercooler or a failed turbo can destroy a second engine if they are not fixed.
- List of what is fitted. Engines are sold with different ancillaries: some have the turbo, injectors, manifolds, alternator and starter, others are long blocks. Agree the list in writing so you know which parts must come from your old engine.
- Timing chain noise. Listen for a rattle at the front of the engine for the first seconds after a cold start. On an engine that cannot be run, look at the chain guides through the oil filler or with the valve cover off.
- VANOS operation. Rough idle, a rattle from the front of the head and a loss of torque at low revs point to VANOS seals or solenoids. These are serviceable parts and are easier to renew with the engine out.
- Double VANOS units and solenoids. Ask for the adaptation values or fault history if the engine was running. Solenoids are inexpensive and are often replaced as a matter of course on a used engine.
- Valvetronic motor and eccentric shaft sensor. The Valvetronic motor and its sensor cause limp-mode faults when they fail. Inspect the connector and the seal around the motor for oil.
- Both cylinder banks. On a V engine, check compression, plugs and coils on both banks. Faults on one bank alone are common and easy to miss on a quick test.
Questions about the N62B48
Will the N62B48 engine fit my BMW E70 X5 4.8i?
Yes, if your BMW E70 X5 4.8i was built with the N62B48. BMW used this 4.8 liter (4,799 cc) petrol engine with 270 kW (367 HP) in the E70 X5 4.8i from about 2005 to 2010.

What is the difference between the N62B48 and other N62 engines?
The N62B48 makes 270 kW (367 HP) and 490 Nm. The other N62 engines are: N62B44 with 245 kW (333 HP) and 450 Nm (2001 to 2005).
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.

Which cars use the BMW N62B48 engine?
BMW fitted the N62B48 to the BMW E60 550i, BMW E65 750i, BMW E70 X5 4.8i and BMW E63 650i. 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.
Other engines in the same N62 family are the N62B44 (333 HP). They look alike but differ in power, parts and electronics, so they are not always a direct swap.

What should I replace when I fit a used N62B48 engine?
A used engine lasts longest when it starts life in your car with fresh fluids and new seals. Fit a new oil filter and fresh oil of the grade BMW lists for this engine, and refill the coolant with the correct BMW antifreeze mix. Check the spark plugs and the ignition coils, and make sure the fuel lines are clean and tight before you crank the engine. Change the drive belt, the thermostat and the water pump seals if they look tired, because they are cheap while the engine is out.
Look at the engine mounts and the clutch or the torque converter while the engine is out. Old mounts can crack a new engine's brackets, and a worn clutch is much easier to change now.
Before the first start, turn the engine over without fuel until the oil pressure light goes out. Then let it idle, check for leaks, and drive gently for the first few hundred kilometres.
The warranty asks for fitting by a qualified mechanic and the correct oil, coolant and filters. Keep your receipts in case you ever need to make a claim.

How much power and torque does the BMW N62B48 have?
From the factory the BMW N62B48 makes 270 kW (367 HP) and 490 Nm of torque. It is a 4.8 liter (4,799 cc) V8, DOHC, 32 valve petrol engine with no turbo (naturally aspirated).
Without a turbo, the power builds smoothly with the revs. A clean air intake, healthy ignition and the correct fuel are key to getting the full figure.
A used engine reaches its factory numbers when it is fitted with the matching engine computer and software, and serviced with the right oil and filters. If the engine computer from your car is a different version, a specialist may need to code it.
Every N62B48 on our site lists its year and mileage. You can ask for extra photos, a close-up of the code stamp or a short video before you order.

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.

Is the BMW N62B48 a diesel or petrol engine?
The N62B48 is a petrol engine. It is a 4.8 liter (4,799 cc) V8, DOHC, 32 valve unit with no turbo (naturally aspirated), and it was built to the Euro 4 emission standard.
The emission standard matters for registration and for low-emission zones in many cities. When you replace an engine with the same code, the car keeps the same paperwork and the same emission class.
Petrol versions need the correct catalytic converters and oxygen sensors on the car to stay legal and to keep the engine computer happy. Reuse the parts from your car if they are in good condition.
If you are not sure which version you need, send us your VIN. We tell you the right code for free.

What comes with a used N62B48 engine?
Each N62B48 is sold as described on its own listing. The yard writes down the parts that are fitted to that unit, such as the turbo, the injectors, the manifolds or the alternator, so you know what arrives.
Some units are long engines with few ancillaries, others are more complete. If you need a part that is not listed, ask the desk. We often have the matching items in the yard.
Every engine is drained, sealed at each opening, strapped to a heat-treated pallet and shrink-wrapped, then photographed before it leaves the yard.
On delivery, the carrier brings the pallet to the kerb or a loading bay. Please have a forklift, a pallet truck or an engine crane ready.

How do I know a used N62B48 engine is in good shape?
The photos on each listing show the actual engine, not a stock picture. The yard checks the code, records what is bolted on, and seals the openings before the engine is offered. An inspection certificate for the unit can travel with the order when you ask for it.
When you look at a listing, check the recorded mileage, the year and the photos of the ports and the stamp. Ask for photos of anything you want to see closer. If you want more photos or a short video of a unit, ask the desk and we send them before you pay.
On a petrol engine like the N62B48, a careful fitter will also look at the spark plugs, the coils and the timing side before the engine goes in.
If the engine fails inside under normal use, the warranty covers you. Eligible engines come with a 12 months warranty from the delivery date. It covers internal mechanical failure under normal use and correct fitting by a qualified mechanic or workshop.

Delivery, warranty and payment
Before an N62B48 leaves our Hamburg yard it is drained of oil and coolant, every opening is sealed, and it is strapped to a pallet and wrapped. We send photographs of the packed unit and the tracking details.
Delivery is door to door and included in the price. Most European addresses receive the engine within five to ten working days; Germany and its neighbours are usually faster.
A 12-month warranty covers eligible internal failure when the engine is fitted by a qualified workshop with new fluids and filters. You can pay by card, bank transfer or crypto and receive the invoice by email straight away.
