BMW N55 engine
N55 is the turbocharged petrol inline-six family that followed N54 across a broad range of BMW models.
This page is a reverse index of the BimmerNews factory matrix: it shows the generations, bodies, models and markets in which the N55 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.
