Will the S38B36 engine fit my BMW E28 M5?

Yes, if your BMW E28 M5 was built with the S38B36. BMW used this 3.6 liter (3,535 cc) petrol engine with 232 kW (315 HP) in the E28 M5 from about 1988 to 1992.

Some E28 M5 cars were built with a different engine: the M30B34. These look alike from the outside, so check the code on your engine or send us your VIN.

Also tell us if your E28 has a manual or an automatic gearbox. The flywheel or the flex plate and some sensors depend on it.

Not sure? Send us your VIN and your gearbox code. We match the engine family, the year window and the parts on the engine before anything is reserved, and the check is free.
