BMW N52 (E90, E60, E82, Z4 platforms)

Power: 215 hp (2.5L) to 260+ hp (3.0L).

The Pros: The N52 is widely regarded by enthusiasts as one of the smoothest, most refined naturally-aspirated 6-cylinders BMW ever made. It utilizes a magnesium/aluminum composite block, making it drastically lighter than the M52.

It also boasts a broader power band and better fuel efficiency.

The Cons: Uses an electric water pump that can be expensive to replace.
