Today we tear down a customer returned BMW N20 Turbo 4 cylinder. These engines are a super hot commodity in the salvage industry and with multiple failure modes its easy to understand why. This is the very first N20 I've torn down but its fairly similar to the N55 engine, which I have torn down on this channel. These engines are suprisingly simple to work on, although they have complex systems like Valvetronic for example. This engine came out in 2011 and can be found in the 3 series, 320i, 328i, The X1, X3, and the 5 series, 528i. Other displacement N20's are also found in front wheel drive mini coopers.

If you're wondering why i'm doing this: I own and run a full service auto salvage yard and part of our model is dismantling blown engines to salvage the good parts to resell. Our business name is Importapart but we do domestic vehicles too.

As always I appreciate all of the comments, feedback, and even the criticism.

Catch you on the next one!
Will there be a midweek video? You'll have to wait and see!
