BMW N46 engine
This page is a reverse index of the BimmerNews factory matrix: it shows the generations, bodies, models and markets in which the N46 family appears.
A shared family code does not mean an identical specification. Parts and service decisions require the complete engine suffix, production date, market and the individual car’s VIN.

Source rows containing this family
Each row keeps the original model, body, market and source boundaries. Where a source row names several engine families, its grouped model list is not treated as a one-to-one model-to-engine mapping.
