Surprisingly I couldn't find the answer easily with google.
What is the engine code for the NA inline 6 in the 2011 x3 28i ? Is it a N55 without the turbos? * nm, found it. Comes with N52

N55 = turbo six
N52 = normally aspirated six N20 = turbo four

Yes the N52 is a great motor! Really smooth and refined! Also Very reliable...was used throughout the lineup before they phased in the N20!

Ok so my buddy, who's a pretty smart guy, says his 2011 X3 has the V-6 turbo. I must have looked like a deer in headlights when he said that but I didn't challenge him because I haven't seen him in a while. Did the X3 ever have a V-6? Did BMW ever make a V-6? Should I have him screened for dementia?

BMW's are normally 4 cylinder, straight 6 cylinder or V8... I haven't heard of a modern BMW V6.
Maybe he just assumed because it has 6 pots it's a V6, I guess the V6 engine is more common across other brands than the straight 6 is.
