N52 E92 M-Sport exist?

As the title says do they even exist since e92 started in 06' and N53 came out in 07', I can't seem to find any anywhere?

looking on realoem it lists e92 as far back as 2005 and shows N52N as a selectable engine so I guess there are some about if that's accurate...

Curious why you need an M-Sport. Where the 335i is concerned there's very little difference between SE and M-sport: it's mainly cosmetic.

Im potentially looking for a N52 and i prefer e92 over e90 so would prefer msport 330i but any msports I have found are 2007 and im pretty sure they are N53, I could find a SE with the sports package but I've never owned an Msport so I want one for my next car.

Pretty sure the Sport variant of the e92 came out in 2007 ('57 reg), so they will all be N53's id imagine.

To be sure, you want an e90/91 on a '55 to '56 roughly. N52 has a grey silver engine cover, whereas N53 is usually black.

In addition, if you have a reg number, the BMW warranty checking tool will tell you whether its N52 or N53: https://www.bmw-warranty.co.uk/Login/Index

Gllad i could help.

As it happens, during my usual Pistonheads trawling, it would appear that they did make some N52 e92 M Sports!!

Yea they definately make one as I have one ('07 plate), 272hp 200kw version as it was a late N52 engine before the N53 came along.

Also mine has a black engine cover, 100% sure its the N52 as I had to get around the VVT when changing the spark plugs.

Definitely a wise choice to look for one of these if you can find it given the similar power to N53 and less issues. Plus i've heard it sounds nicer than the N53 but all I can say is mine makes some noise with no muffler
