    What heads are interchangeable with e60 530xi?

    I would like to know if I can use any N52/3.0L head on my e60 530xi?

    Bought e60. Had oil leak coming from head gasket thanks to the common broken head bolt. Someone tried drilling broken bolt out and broke drill bit in hole. Drill bit was lodged in there in a way I could not get head off. Even pulling the shit out of it with engine hoist. Ended up having to use cutting wheel and cutting into the corner where that bolt goes through head. Luckily the drill bit did not make it into block.

    The n52 should be in your e60 3 liter 530xi. Enter your vin number in REALOEM.com and look up the head part number and look at the other models the head is used on.
