BMW N53

The BMW N53 belongs to the 14th generation of BMW's inline six- cylinder engines, which was produced in 2007 with the LCI (Life Cycle Impulse / model revision ) of the BMW E60 for the first time.

It contains some new features and improvements over its predecessor N52. These fuel injection and a fuel consumption reduction through lean operation with stratified charge at partial load. The lean operation causes an increased emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx), the use of a special NOx storage catalyst is therefore mandatory. The operation of an NOx storage catalytic converter requires low sulfur fuel.

Because of the high concentrations of sulfur in the fuel, which is sold in the U.S. and Australia, BMW does not offer the engine in these countries.
