I found a bmw e93 320i 2007(in papers) and the engine code is N53B30A i know that is not a 2.0L ...i want to find out what kind of 3.0L is.
The 325i,328i or 330i if its an xdrive or not as i didn't drove the car just checked the engine.
i want to buy it that's why i'm interested to know exactly what model is.

Nobody has an idea of what model can be ??
..or to just tell me the owners of a 325i 328i and 330i what code has their engines,i will really appreciate the effort

oh i did that and i found this code on 325i and also on 330i so i am little confused because the reason i am searching is the simple info about the hp has that car

..aand what is on wiky seems to be wrong since the 325i has the same 3.0L but with less power then the 328i and 330i

Did you read it all?

"The 325i (E90/E91/E92) switched from the N52B25-OL (2.5-litre) to the N53B30-U0 (3.0-litre) in September 2007 (March 2007 for the E93). Despite the increased displacement, the maximum power remained unchanged"

So the ad is wrong and it seems to be the 3 litre E93 if its an 07.

I think the majority of the info in there is good, just needs to be a little clearer.

I understand what you are saying but this car has code N53B30-A which is not on wiki listed and all those codes finish in U and O (the car is from 2007)
i wasn't so stupid to open a thread without google search some hours. what i realized is that maybe those letters are for different continents and markets are designed but this doesn't makes me happy as after all i don't know which model is so i will know the hp
thank you for trying to help me i really appreciate that.

[Elliott@DetailAddict]

what I was trying to say is that they can be different displacements.

look at this part locator:
http://partsnavigator.com.au/catalog...dl=6241&spid=0

That should answer it for you.

"BMW 3 Convertible (E93) 325i 03/2007 - / KW - 160 PS - 218 Disp - 2996 N53B30A Convertible"

yes and little more down writes this
BMW 3 Convertible (E93) 330i 03/2007 - / 200 272 2996 N52B30A, N53B30A

Now as you know better then me obviously what i should check to the car to find out what exactly model is?
as i wrote in the first post in the papers is 2.0L

What I'm saying is it could be either a 330 or 325 going off that engine code.
As shown in that chart. And on the Wiki.

Ask for a VIN
