Which BMW E46 engine fits your car?

The BMW E46 engines in stock carry the M54, S54, M47, N52, M43 and N42 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

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.

Which engine does the BMW E46 use?

Are these BMW E46 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.

Do you ship BMW E46 engines to the UK, Ireland and the US?

Yes. Every order ships from Hamburg for a flat 249 €. EU deliveries take 1–5 working days without customs; for the UK, the US and other countries outside the EU the desk supplies the commercial invoice, and import duty and VAT are paid on arrival.

How do I make sure the BMW E46 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 E46 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.
