BMW M57 Engine Review | Common Issues and Timing Chain Replacement (E39 530d, E90 335d)

Review of BMW’s 3.0-liter M57 Diesel Engine, the Predecessor of the Modern N57. Using examples like the BMW E39 530d, E91 325d, and E90 335d Stage 3, we discuss its design, weak points, and problem areas. What happens to this engine over mileages from 100,000 to 600,000 kilometers?

We also highlight the differences between the M57 and M57N. Starting with the bestseller of its time, the E39 530d, we move on to the E90/E91 325d with the M57N2, and finally, the E90/E91 335d with a Stage 3 tune.
