Hi all,Backside itchy, was looking around the car dealers for an upgrade and came across a few UK spec unreg/recon cars.There are many newer 2008+ E60s , X5s out there being brought in, and if I am not mistaken these are all running on the N53 Engines. (Confirmed by VIN check and the different engine sound)BMW Malaysia has maintained the N52 engine even for the F10. They only use the N53 on the F10 535i, where the engine application involves a turbo charger. The better burn of the turbo charged engines reverses the effects of the high sulfur on the Direct Injection Engines.Question is, What are the effects of our high sulfur fuel on the Direct Injections NA engines ? Has anyone any experience with a N53 engine in Malaysia?I read that the Piezo Injectors have a history of clogging up due to dirty fuel/water vapors.Anyone care to comment?P.S. Wikipedia says N53 engines are also not used in the US/Australia.
