In short

N57 engines real photo 1

The N57 is a 3.0 diesel six. It is in the F10 530d, F30 330d, and X5 and X6 30d and 40d. One-turbo and two-turbo engines are not the same.

The page shows the exact code. A 530d badge does not tell you how many turbos it has.

Will it fit my car?

Newer cars changed the exhaust parts. Some also changed the sump and wiring. Match the year.

An X5 N57 is not a saloon N57 with a new sticker.

What we check

People ask about timing chain noise. Our check decides if we sell that engine.

Warranty

Many engines come with up to 12 months warranty. A proper workshop must fit the engine. The warranty is for a fault inside the engine. It does not cover the wrong engine, a dry start, the wrong oil, or damage done after you open the crate.

Shipping

Crate shipping from Hamburg costs 299 EUR. We pack the engine in a strong crate and send it to the address on your order. You need a forklift or an engine crane to unload it.
