What the crate contains

Used BMW inline-six engine photographed in warm light

The unit itself

The engine in the photographs is the engine in the crate

Buyers expect to see the real block, not a stock picture of a similar one. Brackets, sensors, and the turbo stay as they are. If a part is missing, the picture shows that before you pay.

The right car

Matched to the VIN, not only to the badge

A 330d is not one engine. Send the chassis, the year, and the VIN. We check the plate against the gearbox, the sump, and the flywheel, and we say so if it is the wrong unit.

Check the VIN

On the bench

Compression, leak-down, and oil pressure, written down

People expect a check they can read. Cylinders are compared, the sump is looked at for metal, and the notes travel with the order so a later question is answered from the record.

After delivery

A warranty of up to 12 months

Eligible engines are covered from the day they arrive, when a qualified workshop fits them with the correct oil, coolant, and filters. You know the length of that cover before the crate is closed.

Diesel

The diesels workshops fit every week

320d, 330d, 530d, and the X models. M57, N47, N57, B47, and B57 are named with the chassis and the year, so the engine you open is the one the ramp was waiting for.

The rest of the car

A gearbox when the swap does not stop at the block

Buyers often need the transmission with the engine. ZF and Getrag units, transfer cases, differentials, shafts, and turbos are listed beside the long blocks.

Crated for a forklift, not a doorstep

An engine is heavy. It leaves on a pallet a workshop can take with a crane or a forklift. Door-to-door shipping is 299,00 €.

The price

The figure is on the page before you ask

You should not have to write in to learn what an engine costs. Prices are in euros, on the listing, with the code and the year beside them.

With the order

A short guide that stays with the crate

What was checked, and what the installer should confirm on the first start. Workshops expect that note. It travels with the engine, and the same answers are on the guide for that unit.

Why the lid matches the listing

A clear engine, a clear price, a written check

Workshops come back because the listing matches the crate. The engine they see is the engine that ships, the price is on the page, and the inspection notes travel with the order.

Inline-six photographed on the bench

The photographs are of that unit

Every listing is shot in the workshop. Brackets, sensors, and the turbo stay as they are on that engine. If something is missing, it is missing in the pictures, and we say so before you pay.

You can look through several angles, from the front of the block to the mounting face, and ask about anything that is not obvious in the frame.

Turbo and manifold detail

The bench check is written down

Compression is compared cylinder to cylinder. Leak-down is noted where the test was run. Oil pressure is checked, and the sump is looked at for metal. Those notes stay with the order, so a later question is answered from the record.

Eligible engines leave with a written cover of up to 12 months from Bavarian Motor Works from delivery, when a qualified workshop fits them with the correct oil, coolant, and filters.

Straight-six engine in three-quarter view

The code is matched to the car

A 330d badge is not one engine. Send the VIN and we check the plate against the chassis, the year, and the gearbox, including the sump, the flywheel, and the cooler.

If the unit is the wrong one, we say so. A turned-down sale is better than an engine that will not fit the bay.

Engine standing ready to crate

It leaves Hamburg ready for a bay

Engines are heavy. They go out on a pallet built for a forklift or an engine crane, not for a domestic doorstep. Tell us who will unload it and the day is planned around that.

The guide for that engine stays with the order: what was checked, and what the installer should confirm on the first start.

Inspection

Checked before the crate is closed

Compression, leak-down, and oil pressure are reviewed on the bench. The photographs on a listing are of that engine, and the VIN is confirmed before it leaves Hamburg.

Why choose these engines

A complete unit, named the way a workshop searches

A replacement should put the car back on the road. These engines are sold complete, named with the chassis, the badge, the code, and the year, so a search for 530d or M57 lands on the same family.

Diesel inline-six

Diesel, ready to fit

M57, N47, N57, B47, and B57 cover the cars most workshops see: 320d, 330d, 530d, and the X models. The listing says which year and which gearbox the unit belongs to, so the sump and the flywheel are not a surprise on the ramp.

Performance engine

Petrol and M engines

N54, N55, B58, S55, S58, and the V8s are here for daily cars and for builds. Premium lines sit above €3,000 and are inspected the same way as the rest of the stock, with photographs of the unit itself.

Modern diesel on the bench

The rest of the drivetrain

A swap rarely stops at the block. ZF and Getrag gearboxes, transfer cases, differentials, shafts, and turbos are listed beside the engines, and a set can be quoted when the car needs more than a long block.

Compact four-cylinder diesel

Priced before you commit

The price is on the page, in euros. There is no card charge on this shop: the order is saved locally while you confirm the engine, the address, and who will take the crate off the truck.

Selected

Lifted this week

Prepared on the black bench

Bavarian Motor Works supplies BMW engines, transmissions, and selected conversion kits to workshops and private buyers. Each listed engine is inspected, photographed, and packed in Hamburg. You see the code, the year, and the price before the crate is closed.

What buyers write

Quiet replies, after the car is back on the road

People write when the engine has arrived, the code was the one they ordered, and the car starts. The notes are short. They say the same things: the packing held, the photographs were honest, and the replies stayed clear.

Great engine, quick delivery and good service. Everything went smoothly. Would definitely buy again.

Mateusz Cokyasar

Excellent service and very helpful. Wouldn’t hesitate to purchase from them again.

Sean Ferreira

Everything what my vehicle needs. Nice staff, fast delivery, 10/10 i will buy here again. Keep up the good work.

Peter Trater

Johnathan Barnes

Gold tag

Read the engine before the lid goes on

Distance is simpler when the page already does the talking. The name carries the chassis, the badge, and the code. The photographs are of that block on the black bench. The gold tag says what was checked. The price is on the page before you write. A second note travels in the crate: what the installer should confirm on the first start, and who to email if the sump, flywheel, or cooler is unclear.

A garage fitting a 320d before the weekend, a specialist building around a known M code, and an owner whose daily BMW has stopped all use the same desk. Send the VIN. The plate is checked against that chassis. Then the block leaves Hamburg on a pallet, with the guide for that unit under the lid.

Questions go to bavarianenginesofficial@gmail.com. Include the chassis, the year, and the VIN, and we answer from the engine in front of us.
