@Saintor,
N53? The same way the S54 is an M54?

I am unsure of the question.
N52 + direct injection = N53
You are correct about near 270HP N52 in the X3 3.0si but fuel consumption was not that good. The N53 allows a 272HP Euro 330Xi coupe to have the same fuel economy as a 270HP Audi TTS, despite being a NA I6... and 400lbs heavier. I don't understand why they dropped it.... it is probably just a victim of the current turbo madness.
