Which BMW E36 engine fits your car?
The BMW E36 engines in stock carry the M54, S50 and M52 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 team checks the code, the gearbox pairing and the sensors against the unit before anything is reserved.
Looked at 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.
