About a used BMW 3 Series engine
The BMW 3 Series (Saloon/Touring · E90/F30/G20) typically donates a engine that suits a wide year range, but trim and engine variants matter. ZF 8HP gearboxes, N47 diesels, adaptive headlights all everyday stock.
A used engine from a low-mileage donor costs a fraction of the main-dealer price for the same part, and reusing a salvage component saves the embodied carbon of manufacturing a new one. German premium — strong UK breaker network covering 1, 3, 5 Series, X1–X5 and Mini.
Before you buy
- 1.Confirm mileage with photo of the donor odometer.
- 2.Ask for a compression test sheet or video before dispatch.
- 3.Match engine code on the block to the one stamped on your V5C.
