Ugh. Siezed engine(4.8)! Options?
Not definitive yet (indy is looking at it), but likely motor is toast. This is a 2007 X5 4.8 Sport. Will a 650i or 750i 4.8 N62B48 short block work? |

Sad to hear that.The engines are pretty much the same,but there may be some slight differencies.Not on the block or head though.

There is a thread where someone did perform an engine swap into an X5 4.8is with a 4.8 motor from a different BMW. I believe the headers were different (among some other items) and new holes were required to be drilled. So it may not be a direct drop in replacement as you hope it will.

4.8is to n62tu swap question But that is for E53.E70 may be easier.When E53 was designed N62 didnt exist,so they probably dis some mods to fit it in. |

Thanks for the info guys.
Looks like a 650/750 is an option (which is good - they are much more plentiful and thousands cheaper). |

Although I never bought an engine from them, these guys are reputable and do offer warranty: BMW Parts used and rebuilt bmw auto parts And one last thing: it appears the power rating on the N62B48 of the X5 is different than the one used in the 750i. I'm unsure if it is different mechanical specs or is simply a different tune. Last edited by ZetaTre; 01-27-2015 at 04:33 PM. |

BMW is using VANOS for more than 20 years now,which in it's modern iteration may emulate almost any camshaft timing and duration with just a change in the pulse width Plus N62 has valvetronic and variable intake length,which makes it PITA,but the most versatile engine of it's time.

I cross referenced the p/n for the cams and all (meaning X5 and 650/750) have the same cams both intake and exhaust. The head, however has a different p/n: the head on the 650/750 have the same number while the X5 has it's own p/n. Could be irrelevant, but it also may explain the difference in power rating. |

Ahem, check the headers.
