Under the hood discrepancies
Hey everyone,
Looking at 07 Z4 with the 3.0is 6 speed locally. Im looking for some help. This vehicle has a black engine cover and a cover over the oil cooler. Now, looking at youtube videos i see some of these cars with "silver" engine covers and some don't have the plastic cover over the oil cooler. What models get the oil cover and what models get the silver cover? Thanks

My 3.0si has a black 'engine cover'. Are you sure the other cars you're thinking of are 3.0si? The Z4 has a lot of 6-cylinder options under the hood.

For 2006, the 3.0si's all had silver engine covers. My 2006 3.0si has a silver cover. For 2007 and 2008, the covers were all black. I expect that the same thing happened for the 2006 - 2008 3.0i cars as well.

The engine code in the 3.0si is known as an "N52". The 2006 N52 has a magnesium valve cover and a plastic silver engine cover. The 2007 - 2008 Z4 3.0si and beyond (in other BMWs) N52's have a plastic valve cover and black plastic engine cover. The covers are not interchangeable.

Not in North America. maybe for cars produced for your country, but certainly not for cars sold in the United states or Canada.
