So it seems there are many different codes/names for this engine.

[snapback]80796[/snapback][/quote] Im starting to think that NG6 and R6 reffer to the new family of 6 cylinder engines, and that N52 is the 3.0L engine in the family The 2.5 will be NXX and the planned 2.3 Nxx but they are all from the NG6 / R6 family Reply 0 0 E60Speed View Public Profile Send a private message to E60Speed Find More Posts by E60Speed Jul 19, 2005 | 03:18 AM Share Share Options #4 Peter530i Contributors Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,934 Likes: 0 From: Prague, Czech Rep. - Europe My Ride: 2004 BMW 530I steptronic, Orient Blue, Dakota Black Leather, Finishers Aluminium with Wave Cutting interior, NAVIgation, Radio PROFESSIONAL, CD in-dash, Hi-Fi extended sound system, PDC system, Bi-Xenons lights with washers, cruise-control, heated seats, Extended AC, auto"shade" mirrors, auto lights sensors, rain/wiper sensor, M-tech leather multifunction steering wheel, side airbags rearseats, sliding armrest, smoker's package (I don't smoke!), velour floor mats, spare wheel and jack, 122 style rims winter setup, M135 style rims summer setup [color=red]Mods:[/color] [color=blue]M tech sport steering wheel with M5 SMG paddles working retrofit done !

But then the engines has their own code. The "old" R6 engines had the M54 code. Then new ones (starting from April this year) are code N52. The current V8 4.4 litre engine goes under the code N62 and the current R4 family engines N42. For example my car is a E60 525iA with a R6-type N52 engine.
