The BMW N52 was a naturally aspirated straight-six petrol engine produced from 2004 to 2015, replacing the M54 and debuting on the E9x 3 Series and the E6x 5 and 7 Series. It was the first water-cooled engine to use magnesium and aluminium composite construction in its block, and it made the Wards 10 Best Engines list in 2006 and 2007. Compared with the M54 it added Valvetronic variable valve lift, a lighter block, an electric water pump and a variable output oil pump, and the redline rose from 6,500 to 7,000 rpm. Direct-injection N53 replaced it in Europe from 2007, while the United States, Canada, Australia and Malaysia kept the N52 because of high-sulphur fuel. It and the N53 were the last naturally aspirated BMW straight-sixes, ending a line that began with the M30 in 1968.
