Description
BMW N52 3.0L Inline-6 Complete Engine with Transmission
The BMW N52 3.0L Inline-6 Complete Engine with Transmission is a genuine used OEM BMW petrol engine for selected BMW models. It gives smooth inline-6 power, dependable road performance, and a lighter engine design compared with many older BMW six-cylinder engines.
This engine has approximately 68,000 km. Doran Auto Parts tested, inspected, and checked the unit before listing. Therefore, buyers get a used BMW N52 engine package that includes the transmission, subject to final fitment confirmation.
The N52B30 uses a 3.0L naturally aspirated inline-6 layout. Also, it combines a magnesium/aluminium engine construction with Valvetronic, Double VANOS, and port fuel injection. As a result, it delivers smooth throttle response, steady fuel delivery, and strong everyday driving performance.
Engine Overview
The BMW N52 engine suits buyers who need a reliable replacement engine for daily use, repair work, or restoration. In addition, its naturally aspirated design keeps the setup simpler than many turbocharged BMW engines.
- 3.0L Inline-6 Layout: Gives smooth power delivery, strong balance, and classic BMW driving character.
- Magnesium/Aluminium Construction: Reduces engine weight and helps improve vehicle balance.
- Valvetronic System: Controls valve lift for better throttle response and improved fuel use.
- Double VANOS: Adjusts valve timing to improve torque and power across the rev range.
- Port Fuel Injection: Delivers stable fuel flow and avoids the direct-injection setup found in later BMW engines.
- Transmission Included: Adds better value for buyers who need an engine and gearbox package.
Delivery
We can prepare the engine and transmission for UK or international delivery. However, the final delivery option depends on location, payment confirmation, courier availability, and customs handling.
- UK Delivery: Same-day delivery may be available for eligible UK orders.
- International Delivery: Estimated delivery time is usually 7 to 10 working days.
- Packing: We secure the engine and transmission on a heavy-duty pallet for safer transport.
