If you’re here, chances are you own one of BMW’s most talked-about machines — the 2007 BMW 335i. You know, the one with the kind of acceleration that makes you grin and the kind of repair bills that make you cry. Welcome to the world of the N54B30 twin-turbo inline-six — a powerplant both loved and feared by enthusiasts.
When it’s running right, the N54 is pure joy. Smooth inline-six sound, twin-turbo torque from down low, and endless tuning potential. But when it decides to take early retirement? Well, that’s where TurboAutoParts comes in — with tested, high-quality used 2007 BMW 335i engines for sale and matching transmissions shipped anywhere in the USA.
Meet the Heart of the Beast – N54B30 Engine Specs
The 2007 BMW 335i marked the debut of the N54B30, a direct-injected, twin-turbo inline-six that changed the game for BMW performance sedans and coupes.
Engine Details:
-
Engine Code: N54B30
-
Displacement: 3.0L (2979 cc)
-
Configuration: Inline-6, DOHC, twin-turbocharged
-

-
Torque: 300 lb-ft @ 1,400–5,000 rpm

Why do enthusiasts still love the N54? Because with a tune, downpipes, and a decent intercooler, you can easily push 400+ HP without touching the internals.
Why do mechanics sometimes hate it? Well, two words: carbon buildup. And also high-pressure fuel pump failures. And wastegate rattle. But hey, no one’s perfect.
Transmission Options for the 2007 BMW 335i
If your engine is toast, your transmission might not be far behind. BMW gave the 335i two main gearbox options in 2007:
-
Getrag GS6-53BZ – 6-speed manual (for the purists)
-
ZF 6HP21 – 6-speed automatic (smooth and strong when maintained)
At TurboAutoParts, we stock used BMW transmissions alongside engines, tested for smooth shifting, proper pressures, and no unwanted noises. Because nothing ruins the thrill of a fresh engine like a gearbox that’s had enough of your shenanigans.
Why a Used BMW Engine is the Smart Play
Let’s talk money.
-
Brand-New N54 from BMW: $10,000–$14,000 (plus labor, plus tears)
-
Used N54 from TurboAutoParts: $3,500–$5,000 (tested, inspected, ready to install)
That’s a lot of cash saved — enough to also replace your turbos, upgrade your intercooler, and still have money for a weekend road trip.
