The X5 E70, sold from 2006 to 2013, is shown here with nine engines. The petrol units include the N52B30 six-cylinder, the N62B48 V8 and then the twin-turbo N63B44 and S63B44 V8s, the latter reserved for the 555 hp X5 M. The diesels move from the M57D30TÜ2 to the N57D30 at the facelift, up to the 381 hp triple-turbo M50d. Outputs therefore range from 235 to 555 hp. As parts can vary from one engine to another, find your X5's row before placing any order.
