About this category
The BMW 328i 245 hp turbocharger category addresses a common need among drivers and professionals: a dependable, remanufactured turbo that restores power without the expense of a new unit. This range includes turbos designed for the N52 and N55 engine families, covering model years from 2006 to 2013. Whether you’re a mechanic sourcing parts for a client or a car owner tackling a repair yourself, these turbos are engineered to fit the exact specifications of your vehicle’s motorization.
This range is built around the core principle of exchange standard turbos, where a used unit is remanufactured to OEM standards before being resold. The role of the wholesaler here is to ensure that every turbo—such as the Mitsubishi 49U77-02072 and 49477-02058—meets the technical requirements of the BMW 328i’s engine, including compatibility with the vehicle’s power output and turbo geometry.

How to choose
Selecting the right turbo for your BMW 328i 245 hp requires attention to several key factors. These include the engine code, the turbo’s condition, and its compatibility with the vehicle’s power output. A well-chosen unit ensures seamless installation and long-term performance.
- Verify the engine code (e.g., N52 or N55) to ensure the turbo matches your BMW 328i’s motorization and power output without mismatches.
- Check the turbo’s state as generalüberholt, confirming it has been remanufactured to restore its original performance and reliability.
- Confirm the OEM reference (e.g., Mitsubishi 49U77-02072) to deliver compatibility with your vehicle’s turbo system and geometry.
- Assess the packaging and condition of the turbo, ensuring it arrives ready for installation with no signs of damage or contamination.
- Prioritize turbos with a clear return policy for the old unit, reducing costs and simplifying the exchange process for both professionals and DIY users.
- For workshops, bulk ordering options and wholesale pricing streamline inventory management and improve profit margins on repairs.
- German buyers should confirm the turbo meets local automotive standards, including adherence to DIN or ISO specifications for remanufactured parts.
Storage & logistics
For B2B customers, proper storage of exchange standard turbos is essential to maintain their condition until installation. Store units in a dry, temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight and contaminants. Ensure packaging remains intact to prevent moisture or debris from affecting the turbo’s internal components. Regularly rotate stock to prevent stagnation, and inspect each unit before dispatch to confirm it meets the expected standards. This approach ensures that every turbo delivered to a garage or DIY user performs reliably from the first use.
