Which BMW E36 engine fits your car?

The BMW E36 engines in stock carry the S50, M54, M52, M40, M43 and M50 codes. The same badge can hide different engines across build years, so compare the code stamped on your block with the one in the listing.

Fit is confirmed by VIN, not by badge. Send the chassis number and the Hamburg desk checks the code, the gearbox pairing and the sensors against the unit before anything is reserved.

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

Every engine is photographed on the bench at Andreas Meyer Straße 38 before it is listed, so the pictures show the unit that ships, not a stock image. Turbos, injectors, sensors and the sump are described as fitted, and anything missing is written into the listing.

Delivery costs 249 € on every order, wherever it goes. Within the EU the pallet moves without customs in 1–5 working days; for the UK, the US, the UAE and other destinations outside the EU, the desk supplies the commercial invoice and import duty and VAT are paid on arrival.

Are these BMW E36 engines new, used or reconditioned?

They are original used engines removed from donor cars, inspected and photographed in Hamburg. A unit is only called rebuilt or reconditioned when the listing says so, and the mileage is printed when the donor's history is known.

How do I make sure the BMW E36 engine fits my car?

Send the 17-character VIN by WhatsApp on +49 15510 030835 or to autowerkeengines@gmail.com. The desk matches the engine code, gearbox and ancillaries before the unit is reserved.

Is there a warranty on BMW E36 engines?

Eligible engines leave Hamburg with written warranty cover from the delivery date. The terms are on the warranty page, and the desk confirms cover for a specific unit before you pay.
