Which BMW E28 engine fits your car?

Send the 17-character VIN with your enquiry and the desk matches the engine code, gearbox and ancillaries before the unit is reserved; the free VIN check on the home page reads the basics in seconds.

Inspected in Hamburg, shipped to the UK, Europe and the US

Units are inspected in Hamburg before they are offered: the code is checked against the listing, the ancillaries are recorded as fitted, and the openings are sealed for transport. An inspection certificate can travel with the crate on request.

Shipping is a flat 249 € per order. Engines are drained, sealed, strapped to a pallet and dispatched with tracking; most EU addresses receive them in 1–5 working days, and orders confirmed before 14:00 CET on a working day can leave the same day.
