In short
The M57 is a 3.0 diesel six. It was in the 330d, 530d, 730d, and X5 30d. It came in more than one power level.
The early M57D30 and later TU engines are not the same. The page tells you which one it is.
Will it fit my car?
A 231 hp engine and a stronger one can both be M57. The turbo and injectors can differ. Buy the power your car had.
On the X5 the gearbox and transfer case change the parts. Tell us the car.
What we check
People ask about swirl flaps, the turbo, and oil in the intake. The photos and our notes answer this for each engine.
How to pick the right engine
Open the M57 page. Pick the year of your car. Then read the page of the engine you want.
Warranty
Many engines come with up to 12 months warranty. A proper workshop must fit the engine. The warranty is for a fault inside the engine. It does not cover the wrong engine, a dry start, the wrong oil, or damage done after you open the crate.
Shipping
Crate shipping from Hamburg costs 299 EUR. We pack the engine in a strong crate and send it to the address on your order. You need a forklift or an engine crane to unload it.
