Used BMW X5 Sump

The X5 moved from the E70 generation (2006–2013) to the F15 generation (2013–2018), so a 2010 unit is E70 and a 2014 unit is F15 — these are different generations and the sump is very unlikely to cross that boundary. The safe approach is to confirm the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check, then ask the breaker whether the donor registration matches; the engine code matters far more than the year alone. Never assume fitment across a generation change without the breaker verifying against both registrations.

The 3.0d and 3.5d badges indicate different engines — the 3.0d typically uses the M57 straight-six diesel while the 3.5d is a twin-turbocharged straight-six — and sumps are machined to suit a specific engine block, so they are not the same part. Pull the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and give it to the breaker so they can match donor to recipient accurately. Do not rely on badge or displacement alone when sourcing a sump.

Trim level — SE, M Sport, xLine, or any other — makes no difference whatsoever to sump fitment; the sump follows the engine, not the interior or bodykit specification. If both cars share the same engine code, the sump is the same part, so do not pay more or search harder simply because the donor has a different trim badge. The only cosmetic difference you might encounter is that breakers sometimes store parts with trim labels on their tags, but ignore those and focus on the engine code match.

No — petrol and diesel engines have completely different block designs and the sumps are not interchangeable, even within the same generation and year. Always confirm your fuel type and engine code (for example N57 for the common 3.0-litre diesel or N55 for the 3.0-litre petrol) before approaching a breaker. Giving the breaker your engine code removes any ambiguity and is the single most useful piece of information you can provide.

The E70 ran until late 2013 and the F15 was introduced from late 2013, so a 2013 registration could be either generation depending on the exact build date. This boundary matters enormously for a sump because the engines and block designs changed between generations, so parts from one will not suit the other. Check your engine code on the V5 or via a VIN check and confirm with the breaker which generation your engine belongs to before ordering.

The sump itself sits on the engine block rather than the gearbox, so in most cases gearbox type does not directly determine sump fitment — the engine code is still the primary factor. However, some engine variants were only ever paired with specific gearboxes and may have had ancillary or mounting differences introduced during production; confirm with the breaker against your registration to be certain. Providing your full engine code alongside your registration gives the breaker everything they need to advise you accurately.
