BMW 430d · N57D30A · 258 PS (2013–2020)

The 430d produces 190 kW (258 PS) with the 2993 cc N57D30A engine. This page covers 2013–2020. Identify this 430d by its N57D30A engine and 190 kW output. The range also includes 435d xDrive N57, 230 kW, so parts and service requirements cannot be selected from the 4 Series name alone. Covered bodies are listed on this page.

Engine oil

BMW’s published oil-change quantity is 6.5 l. This is a service quantity, not an amount to pour in as a top-up: check the level after filling. Oil approvals, timing drive and shared engine characteristics are detailed in the engine section.

Maintenance and CBS deadlines

CBS calculates deadlines from use; read distance and date under Vehicle information → Vehicle status → Service requirements. Oil, front and rear pads, brake fluid and vehicle check are separate items. This handbook does not set a universal oil mileage or a numeric brake-fluid interval here. The F32 handbook’s service table specifies oil, oil filter and air-conditioning microfilter at every oil service; diesel fuel filter and air filter at every second oil service. Shorten the fuel-filter interval for poor-quality fuel and the air-filter interval in dust.

Documented faults and recalls

ADAC notes springs or dampers requiring inspection and occasional oil leaks. Its diesel review also documents the EGR-cooler recall: an internal leak may cause a fire risk. Check affected engines, periods and completed work by VIN; this diesel recall does not automatically apply to petrol versions.

Prepare the service

Bring the VIN, build month, N57D30A code and 190 kW rating. Record CBS dates and counters, previous oil services and filter changes; bring the key used for the last journey. Have the oil and work itemised on the invoice and the service recorded. Report storage with the battery disconnected so time-based deadlines can be corrected.

BMW N57 diesel engine (3.0 l six-cylinder)

This applies to every car fitted with the N57 engine.

What the N57 is

A 2,993 cc inline six-cylinder diesel (bore × stroke 84 × 90 mm) with an all-aluminium crankcase, third-generation common rail with piezo injectors and a variable-geometry turbocharger. BMW introduced it in July 2008 in the facelifted E90 330d (180 kW, 520 Nm), with a particulate filter as standard. The family covers several output levels (N57D30T0, O0, U0, K0); the N57TU (N57D30O1) arrived in July 2013 in the F10 535d, then in the F15 X5.

Source : [13] [15]

Engine oil

Use oil approved to BMW Longlife-04, which BMW requires for diesels with a particulate filter (less ash, filter protected). Oil change quantity: 7.2 l for the 2008 E90 330d and for the 2013 F30 335d xDrive according to BMW’s data sheets. Other installations (5 Series, X models) may differ: have the quantity confirmed for your vehicle.

Timing drive

Chains, on the flywheel side (rear of the engine, gearbox end). For the N57TU, BMW’s training document describes simplex sleeve-type chains, an upper and a lower chain with hydraulic tensioners, and a second chain driving the combined oil and vacuum pump. No replacement interval is given: it is a repair, not a maintenance item.

Maintenance and records

Engine oil change

Oil deadline displayed by CBS

Record remaining date and distance before work. Use the version-specific quantity and a VIN-approved oil; check the level and record the oil service once completed. The consulted document does not justify a universal fixed mileage.

Source [9]

Brake fluid

Brake-fluid service date

Read the brake-fluid deadline separately from pad wear. Compare it with the last replacement invoice; report storage with the battery disconnected before correcting service dates. Reset only completed work.

Source [9]

Vehicle check

Vehicle-check deadline, separate from oil service

Keep the CBS vehicle-check item separate from oil service. Provide service history and the key last used so the workshop can read actual requirements. An oil change alone does not prove the vehicle check was completed.
