Used BMW M52 engines: prices, fitment and delivery

BMW M52 engines for sale: 4,075 listed, priced from 1.252,00 € to 3.099,00 €. The M52 is a straight-six petrol built from 1994 to 2000. Units in stock come from the BMW 323i, BMW 328i, BMW 523i, BMW 528i, BMW 728i and BMW 520i (E39, E36, E46 and E38 chassis). Variants on the shelf include the M52B28, M52B25 and M52B20.

Nothing on this page is a stock photo. Each engine was removed from a donor car, cleaned, checked on the Hamburg bench and photographed from several sides; the listing names the code, the donor chassis, the year and, where the history is known, the mileage.

Every order ships from Hamburg for one flat 249 € fee, on a shrink-wrapped pallet with a tracking number. EU deliveries take 1–5 working days, islands and remote regions a little longer, and exports outside the EU travel with a commercial invoice for customs.
