[QUOTE="viewfinder, post: 395059, member: 1704"] (no choice but to resurrect an old thread) According to realoem.com, all N52B25 under MYS country code up to 2007/02 is "N52" where as [URL="http://www.realoem.com/bmw/partgrp.do?model=VH59&mospid=50409"]2007/03[/URL] onwards (their database up to 2008/08 only I think) uses "N52N". You can use any valid Malaysia VIN # (last 7 characters/digits in your chassis code. V something) in realoem to do the search above... then just vary the year and you can see the "Engine:" column toggles between "N52" and "N52N" What is the difference between N52 vs N52N... According to the pictures below, if you notice the silver cover engine has a shiny cooler device located next to the oil filter. The black cover version does NOT have the cooler device next to the oil filter. But according to realoem diagram on N52N, it shows the cooler device... so I am confused. Either the diagram is not updated, or the black cover engine below may not be N52N. [/QUOTE]
