e90 325i engines

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am looking to get out of the potentially troublesome (touch wood) 120i and considering an e90 325i, but am a little unclear on the engines and their relative issues.

From wikipedia I see it notes 2005-2008 as N52 but 2007-2011 as N53.
I assume the cross over is in different markets?
Is the N52 a decent motor without big flaws?
Is the N53 worth the extra $ ? (ignoring it is a newer car and LCI)
Be interested in your expert opinions :)
Thanks,
Nick

I think given the sharp prices for a e90 325i or 323i msport (hopefully around $10-15k) its a good car to buy these days. My experience with the n52 2.5L was pretty good. No strange issues. Drove well and enough power for a normal daily car.

I wouldnt be phased about whether its an n52 or n53 and pick the better spec/msport/nz new/service history example.
